PhD Studentships
HERA Project In Slavonic Studies
University of Cambridge – Department of Slavonic Studies
Limit of tenure: 36 months
Applications are invited for two fully-funded PhD studentships (EU/UK rate**) covering the period 1 October 2010 to 31 September 2013, working under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Etkind in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages.
These awards have become available as a result of the award of a 2009 HERA JRP grant (Humanities in the European Research Area, Joint Research Program) in the category “Cultural Dynamics: Inheritance and Identity” for the collaborative research project “Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine“.
The University of Cambridge is leading this project, which will be accomplished in association with the Universities of Bergen, Helsinki, Tartu, and Groningen. The project will involve multiple conferences, field trips, and publications in which the prospective PhD students will participate.
Successful applicants for these awards are expected to begin PhD study on 1 October 2010.
Candidates should hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field, such as Slavonic Studies, Political Science, History, etc., and demonstrate a good command of one of three Slavonic languages (Polish, Russian, or Ukrainian), a reading knowledge of another of these languages (or eagerness to acquire this knowledge at Cambridge), and excellent writing skills in English. Experience in journalism or information technologies is a bonus.
