Dear all,
The School of Humanities at Tallinn University is looking for two PhD students. Both PhD positions are offered for 4 years, starting on 1 September 2019 and are fully funded. The two positions are available within the forthcoming Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) project "Public transport as public space in European cities: Narrating, experiencing, contesting (PUTSPACE)". PhD students are positioned at the interdisciplinary and international School of Humanities of Tallinn University (Estonia) but their work entails close collaboration with PUTSPACE project partners Åbo Akademi University (Turku, Finland), Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography (Leipzig, Germany) and Université libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium). Doctoral researchers can freely devise their own projects within the aims and scope of PUTSPACE.
Please see more information here:

You are very welcome to share the information. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me directly.
Candidates are expected to send their documents by 1 May 2019.
Kind regards,
Tauri
