PhD, Masters/PgDip Scholarships and Postdoctoral Fellowships

Suitably qualified applicants from any branch of the Social Sciences and
Humanities are invited to apply for 11 fully-funded PhD studentships and
two one-year postdoctoral fellowships in any of the following key
research themes related to current and past developments in Russia,
Central and Eastern Europe and the former USSR:

· Aspects of identity and culture and their social, political and
economic implications
· Economic and social transformation
· Political transformation and international relations
· Literary, cinematic and cultural developments
· The politics of language.

The PhD studentships provide funding for up to 5 years, and offer 3
years of doctoral supervision plus training in research methods and
language (Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Serbian-Croatian, Uzbek,
Slovene, Slovak, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Estonian).

Studentships may be held at any of the CRCEES partner institutions, and
cover tuition fees, plus annual stipend of £12,300. Where relevant,
students registered for a PhD at one partner institution may undergo
research methods and/or language training at another.

Postdoctoral fellowships (£22,289 p.a.) will provide an opportunity for
new researchers who have recently gained a PhD to disseminate research
and to further improve their skills through specialized training.
Fellows will be expected to make an active contribution to the work of
CRCEES.

Applications are also invited for two scholarships (tuition fees plus
stipend of £12,300) for the MSc in Russian, Central and East European
Studies, and two scholarships for the intensive Postgraduate diploma
(PgDip) in Russian language, both offered at the University of Glasgow.

Applicants should send a covering letter, CV, two references and - for
PhD fellowships and postdoctoral fellowships - a 1,000-word research
proposal to Sarah Lennon at the address below by 4 August 2006. Awards
are subject to standard ESRC eligibility rules.
