UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH AND UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
TWO POSTGRADUATE STUDENTSHIPS IN GERMAN
The Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford are recruiting candidates for two
AHRC-funded PhD studentships, to be awarded as part of the AHRC major
research project Representations of Women and Death in German Literature,
Art, and Media after 1500.
Professor Sarah Colvin (Edinburgh) will supervise a studentship on ‘The
discourse of female violence in Germany in the 1960s and 1970s’. Professor
Helen Watanabe-O’Kelly (Oxford) will supervise a studentship on
‘Representations of the figure of the widow in nineteenth and early
twentieth-century German literature’.
A good first degree (undergraduate degree) in German is required. A formal
postgraduate qualification in a relevant area must be completed by the time
the studentship commences. Candidates who do not have such a qualification
must show evidence of sustained experience beyond first degree level that is
specifically relevant to the doctoral research project.
The studentships will commence from 1 October 2005 and will be for three
years. UK residents will be awarded maintenance fees at the normal AHRC rate
as well as tuition fees. Nationals of a member state of the EU other than
the UK who do not meet UK residency requirements are eligible for a
fees-only award.
The closing date for the Edinburgh studentship is Friday 27 May 2005. For

European Languages and Cultures, University of Edinburgh, 59 George Square,
