Dear colleagues,

The School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics at University College Dublin is pleased to invite applications from outstanding candidates for three PhD Scholarships, starting in September 2018.

Each scholarship covers the EU rate of tuition fee as well as an annual stipend of €10,000. The scholarships are awarded for 3 years, subject to satisfactory progress. Successful candidates are expected to participate in professional training activities, including teaching-based activities.

For more information about all the research specialisms of individual members of staff in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, please visit our website http://www.ucd.ie/slcl/subjects/spanish/ and http://www.ucd.ie/slcl/subjects/spanish/spanishstaffprofiles/.

Areas of specialization for PhD candidates are open but should align with the research interests of staff members. Applicants should consult staff profiles for information and approach and gain initial approval from a potential supervisor.
