Subject: Asia and Europe in a Global Context programme
**************************************************************

The Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies of the Cluster of
Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" at Heidelberg University
welcomes applications for eight doctoral scholarships beginning in the
winter semester 2014/15.

The programme offers a monthly scholarship of 1.200 Euro. It further
supports scholarship holders in framing their research through advanced
courses and individual supervision and mentoring. Half of the scholarships
are reserved for young scholars from Asia.

Applicants are expected to propose a doctoral project with a strong
affiliation to the research framework of the Cluster. They must hold an
M.A. or equivalent in a discipline of the humanities or social sciences
with an above-average grade. Applications, including a CV, a letter of
intention, a project proposal, a schedule for the dissertation, and two
referees for recommendation are submitted through an Online Application
System.

After an initial evaluation and selection, applicants will be asked to get
in contact with possible supervisors at the Cluster of Excellence to
discuss their project proposal. The most promising applicants will be
invited to present their projects to the selection committee in Heidelberg
around the middle of May. Subsequently the scholarship holders will be
selected.

The deadline for applications is March 15, 2014.
