Graduate Studentship in Chinese Humanities

Call for applications for a Graduate Studentship in Chinese Humanities.
The Graduate Studentship in Chinese Humanities is open to all applicants
for postgraduate research in Chinese Humanities. If a suitable candidate
presents him or herself, an election will be made to the Graduate
Studentship in Chinese Humanities with effect from 1 October 2012. The
studentship comprises the equivalent of the university and college fee for
up to three years (at the UK/EU rate) and a maintenance grant following
the University standard rate of approximately =A313,000 per annum.  The
award is tenable from October 2012 for one year in the first instance,
renewable for up to a maximum of two further years subject to receipt of a
satisfactory report from the supervisor.  The award is intended for any
postgraduate student pursuing doctoral research in any field of Chinese
Humanities. Candidates must have obtained a merit or distinction result or
its equivalent in a master=92s course in a relevant field of study.

The award is tenable at any Oxford college, and may only be held in the
Faculty of Oriental Studies.

Applications must include: (a) the intended supervisor of the research
project; (b) a brief statement of the academic career, including
attainments and qualifications; (c) a statement of research interests of
not more than seven pages (including outline, research proposal,
bibliography); (d) the names of two referees, who should be asked to
supply confidential references by the closing date (please see below); and
(e) a statement of any other sources of funding held or being applied for
by the candidate if applicable. All applications will be considered on
their merits by a panel of representatives from the Faculty of Oriental
Studies.

Applications and references should be received by Charlotte Vinnicombe,
Faculty Board Secretary, The Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1
2LE, e-mail orient at orinst.ox.ac.uk<mailto:orient at orinst.ox.ac.uk> no
later than 20 January 2012, which is also the next gathered field deadline
for applications for graduate study.  Applicants should ask their referees
to supply confidential references by the same date. A separate application
to the University for a place for doctoral study is required, and the
award would also be subject to an offer of a place from a college.
Students already enrolled on a relevant taught masters course at Oxford
are also eligible to apply.
