Dear Colleagues,

please distribute widely our announcement for the next round of GPTS
scholarships so we can once again receive many qualified applications from
different academic disciplines all over the world.

 
Many thanks,

The Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies welcomes applications for
eight doctoral scholarships. The application system is now open until
March 15, 2013.

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. The scholarships start
in the winter term 2013/14 and are granted for two years with the
possibility of an extension for an additional year. Half of them are
reserved for young scholars from Asia.

Applicants are expected to propose a doctoral project contributing to the
general research framework of the Cluster of Excellence ³Asia and Europe
in a Global Context. The Dynamics of Transculturality². 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
recommendations are accepted until March 15, 2013, via the Online
Application System <https://vjc.w2system08.de/intern/start_start_for.php>.

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. Subsequently the scholarship holders will be selected.
