PhD Studentship in German Studies, University of Birmingham

The Institute for German Studies at the University of Birmingham is delighted to offer a full doctoral scholarship for entry in October 2007. The scholarship consists of tuition fees at home/EU level, plus a maintenance component at funding council rates.

The Institute for German Studies is the UK`s only centre for the social-scientific study of contemporary Germany and was rated 5A in the 2001 RAE. It is one of a global network of centres supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and is part of the University`s European Research Institute (ERI). With the ERI also hosting the University`s Graduate Centre for Europe, postgraduate students therefore benefit from a lively and supportive research environment.

Proposals are invited from outstanding candidates on the politics, international relations, economics, post-war history and/or culture of contemporary Germany, either by itself or in a comparative context. Candidates should have an excellent Master`s and/or first degree in a relevant area. The award is available for a maximum of three years, and is subject to satisfactory progression in the University`s annual progress reviews of research students.

Application
Application is via the standard University application form for postgraduate study: applicants should indicate clearly that they are applying for the Institute scholarship.

Applications for entry in late September 2007 are welcome at any time during the academic year 2006-2007, but the final deadline is 15 June 2007. Candidates should expect to be interviewed, and the Institute reserves the right to award the scholarship before the deadline should an exceptional candidate present herself/himself.

For further information, please contact Dr Simon Green, Deputy Director of the Institute for German Studies
