Post Doctoral Fellowship

The Shohet Scholars Grant Program of the International Catacomb Society is now accepting applications to the Shohet Scholars cohort of 2020-2021. Submission deadline is January 15, 2020.

This annual grant program funds research on the Ancient Mediterranean from the Hellenistic Era to the Early Middle Ages. Shohet Scholars may do their research in the fields of archaeology, art history, classical studies, history, comparative religions, or related subjects. Of special interest are interdisciplinary projects that approach traditional topics from new perspectives.

One or more Shohet Scholars will be selected each year. The primary intent of the grant is to support significant, innovative research that can be completed and reported upon within and shortly after the award period. Grants may be made to seed innovative approaches and new ideas or to cover specific expenses or phases of a larger project under the direction of the applicant. At this time, awards in the range of $2,000 to $30,000 will be made. The Shohet Scholars Program reserves the right not to make a grant in a year in which there are no applications meeting the requirements of the program. A complete history of past and present Shohet Scholars awards is available on the ICS webpage, www.catacombsociety.org.

Title: Which changes are needed in the hiring objectives, the hiring-decision-making-process and criteria for determining the most qualified candidate so that more disabled applicants can get hired despite lacking essential job functions while improving the employer's economic and commercial productivity, profitability and competitiveness by reassigning job tasks to more suited employees; thus, reflecting the changes in their job-skill ranking? Project goal: Increase the number of disabled and handicapped lacking essential job functions to get hired by replacing the currently used job-description-based hiring criteria for making hiring decisions with new task-based employee-centered hiring criteria because they are based on the whole company's performance; thus, causing the employer's productivity, profitability and competitiveness to improve much more compared to current common hiring decision making practices. Abstract: Hiring decisions can be risky. How much can employers save by better understanding the motivations and objectives of each applicant? How much time and expertise should be invested in getting to know each applicant? Will such efforts raise the return on investment? What are the shortcomings and deficits of the criteria to evaluate, compare and rank applicants? How do they need to get changed to reflect the shift in the relative order of job skills between employees when the composition of the team (total of all employees) changes by hiring, firing or replacing? A job description combines tasks and steps to a random set of job responsibilities. But could their be better ways to bundle tasks together and to look for the most qualified applicant for this particular arbitrarily defined task bundle? Could the employer benefit from regrouping all small tasks, which a company must perform, by changing which and how many small job tasks will be bundled together in different job descriptions? And if so, how can reassigning each little tasks from different jobs to the most suitable employee (task-centered approach) instead of looking for the most qualified applicant for a particular job (job-centered approach) help in improving productivity and profitability? How and why will the new task-centered approach help to increase the workforce diversity more than the job-centered approach? How can reassigning tasks help disabled and handicapped lacking essential job functions to get hired anyways? How can employers benefit from not only looking for the most qualified applicant for any particular job (i.e. arbitrarily bundle of tasks and steps) Why does the task-centered based hiring decision benefit employees, employees, applicants and disabled job-seekers more than job-centered based hiring decisions? What are the benefits to seek the best employee for each task (task-centered) instead of the most qualified applicant for a particular jobs? How can employers benefit from a paradigm shift replacing the job-centered with the task-centered hiring
