<p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A unique opportunity has arisen for an outstanding PhD student to conduct pioneering research on a previously undescribed (or insufficiently described) Indigenous language of the Eastern
Himalayan region (northeast India and/or adjoining areas of Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Tibet). The expectation is that this project's focal language would be one from a lesser-studied branch of the Trans-Himalayan language family (a.k.a. Tibeto-Burman),
however other possibilities could also be considered.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The successful applicant will hold a scholarship at the University of Sydney Department of Linguistics, a renowned centre for research on Indigenous languages of mainland Asia from
a functional-typological perspective. The project also involves substantial field research, and the successful candidate is expected to spend a considerable portion of their candidature period in the field. This scholarship comprises a tuition waiver plus
a competitive stipend (please follow the links below for details). Field equipment will be provided. Funds for travel and maintenance during fieldwork are also expected to be provided. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This scholarship is not restricted by citizenship/nationality; candidates who are not residents of Australia are welcome to apply. However, preference may be given to qualified candidates
who are themselves native speakers of an Eastern Himalayan language and/or Indigenous to the project region. </p>
