*TOPIC*: PhD Fellowship
The Department of East Asian Studies offers funding for one PhD
fellowship to start in October 2013. The value of the scholarship will
be £15,000 per year for a maximum of 3 years. This will cover university
composition and college fees for a UK/EU student plus a significant part
towards maintenance (for details, see External Link
<http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/>).
Preference will be given to research proposals in the following fields:
Early Chinese cultural history; religion and thought of Pre-Imperial and
Early Imperial China; classical Chinese philology, text and manuscript
studies, Dunhuang studies.
It is expected that the candidate will be supervised by Prof. Roel
Sterckx and/or Dr. Imre Galambos. Candidates should have an
undergraduate, and preferably, a master's degree in Chinese Studies,
have an advanced level of classical Chinese, and be proficient in modern
Chinese. A reading knowledge of Japanese can be an advantage.
We recommend that applicants apply by 1 December 2012.
