PhD scholarship: folklore and literature of the Caucasus

[Neil Bermel]

Dear SEELANGS,

The Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of 
Sheffield, UK
invites applications for a fully-funded PhD scholarship dedicated to the
folklore and literature of the Caucasus region. Proposals may pertain to the
folklore and literature itself, the history of scholarship on the 
question, and
the role they have played in the formation of social and cultural identity.

Fluency in Russian language is essential, and knowledge of one Caucasian
language would be an advantage.

The scholarship includes all University fees, a grant for living 
expenses and
funds for approved research expenses.

Information about the Department can be found at:

www.shef.ac.uk/russian

For further details please contact Professor Susan Reid 
(s.e.reid at sheffield.ac.uk).
