New funding for PhD students in Russian & East European Languages and Cultures at Cambridge University

[S. K. Larsen]

The Department of Slavonic Studies at Cambridge University is pleased
to announce its partnership in a new Centre for Doctoral Training
(CDT) in Russian, Slavonic and East European Languages and Culture.
Funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and
coordinated by the Centre for East European Language-Based Area
Studies (CEELBAS), the new CDT will provide studentships for selected
candidates who have been offered places on PhD courses in Russian,
Slavonic and East European languages and culture at one of the four
universities in the CDT consortium: UCL, Cambridge, Manchester and
Oxford. For details on eligibility and application information, please
consult the CDT homepage:
http://www.ceelbas.ac.uk/students/cdt/

The new studentships are open only to applicants who are 'ordinarily
resident' in the United Kingdom or European Union.  Overseas students
from outside the EU who wish to pursue doctoral study at Cambridge may
apply for funding from the Gates Cambridge Trust.  Information on the
Gates Cambridge scholarships is available here:
http://www.gatescambridge.org/
Candidates for these studentships should note that their application
for admission must be received in Cambridge by 10 January 2014. A
separate application for the studentship must be received by CEELBAS
not later than 4 pm on 3 March 2014.


The Department of Slavonic Studies at Cambridge has particular
expertise in the fields of medieval studies; Russian and Soviet film
studies; nineteenth and twentieth-century Russian literature and
culture; and Ukrainian literature and culture. Information about the
research areas of core staff can be obtained here:

Although formal application for a PhD must be made through the
University's Board of Graduate Studies, students are initially
encouraged to contact  the individual member of staff with whom they
might particularly wish to work, to discuss the feasibility of their
proposed research topic.  General questions about the course may be
addressed to the department’s liaison for graduate studies, Dr Susan
Larsen (sl545  [at] cam.ac.uk).

(including Russian, Slavonic and East European) at Cambridge is
