Julia G. Krivoruchko is currently Research Associate at University of Cambridge in Jewish studies.
She gained her PhD in Classics at Lomonosov Moscow State University and worked in the fields of classical languages, linguistics and literature in universities in Russia, the Ukraine, Israel and Greece.
After her work in the Language Traditions Project in Jerusalem and its leader Prof. Shelomo Morag she began to study extensively the oral and written transmission of Jewish biblical translations, a field that she has been researching since 1998.
In 2001-2 she was awarded a scholarship by the A. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation to study the culture and language of Greek-speaking Jews and the Judaeo-Greek language. Her publications deal with Judaeo-Greek manuscripts, their cultural and linguistic background, as well as with language contacts and sociolinguistics. Recently she took part in the research projects ‘Greek Bible in Byzantine Judaism’ (Centre for Advanced Theological Studies, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, 2006-2009) and in the European Seminar on Advanced Jewish Studies, ‘Greek Scripture and the Rabbis’ (Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, 2010) and has been a co-author of the book ‘The Jewish-Greek Tradition in Antiquity and the Byzantine Empire‘ (2014).
