PhD scholarship in folklore and literature of the Caucasus: University of Sheffield

[Neil H Bermel]

Dear colleagues,

Thanks to a generous donation, the Department of Russian and Slavonic
Studies at the University of Sheffield  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. Potential applicants are
encouraged to contact Professor Craig Brandist
c.s.brandist at sheffield.ac.ukto discuss possible projects.  In the
first round of selection we will
require a cv, a research proposal of c.400 words, and a covering letter
explaining your interest. These should reach Professor Brandist by 30 June
2013.

Best regards,

Neil
