We are very pleased to announce that Dr Nicola Barbagli is our new NINO Postdoctoral Researcher, starting 1 September 2026! Nicola’s research will focus on Roman emperors and Egypt, and this is also the subject of the conference he is to organise in Leiden (2027). Another part of his duties will be teaching a graduate course, open to students in the Netherlands through OIKOS, the National Research School in Classical Studies.

NINO was fortunate to receive a large number of applications again this year, from which our search committee made a selection to interview. It was not easy to choose between several excellent candidates! Nicola will be a valuable addition to our community in the Netherlands, and we thank our search committee for their work.
