Department of Geography, National University of Singapore
Call for Applications: 1 PhD Scholarship
Deadline for applications: 6 October 2017
Full scholarship details and application procedure: http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/images/prospective-students/graduate/docs/TRACE_RS.pdf
The Department of Geography, based at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at the National University of Singapore, invites applications for ONE full-time PhD Scholarship.
The successful PhD applicant will undertake research connected to the Ministry of Education Tier 2 funded research project titled, ‘Transnational Relations, Ageing and Care Ethics’ (TRACE). This research focuses on how transnational relations, ageing and care ethics extend across national borders. It considers three interrelated aspects of care circulation: (1) grandparenting migration, (2) caring for the aged and the left-behind care chains of foreign carers; and (3) retirement migration. Empirically, the research examines the everyday geographies of older people in Singapore, China and Australia, and the care migration industry and left-behind care chains of foreign care workers from Myanmar.
The PhD thesis work should be an independent project that fits broadly into the overall research project on ‘Transnational Relations, Ageing and Care Ethics’ (TRACE). Empirical research conducted in an Asian context will be preferred.
This PhD position is targeted at applicants who have:
1. Intermediate competency in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), usually obtained at the honours (at least Second Class Honours/Upper Division or equivalent), or at the Masters level; knowledge of ArcGIS, spatial analysis and visualization preferred
2. Knowledge of or willingness to work with qualitative research methods
The successful applicant is expected to commence PhD studies at NUS in January 2018, although promising applicants requesting to start in August 2018 will also be considered.
Informal enquiries may be directed to the Principal Investigator A/P Elaine Ho ([log in to unmask]).
