SUMMARY:PhD scholarships in culture
DESCRIPTION:Giessen University’s International Graduate Centre for the Study of 
 Culture (GCSC)\, funded by the German federal government’s Excellence 
 Initiative\, offers a three-year structured PhD-program in the study of 
 culture. With its excellent research environment\, a doctoral program which 
 is tailored to the needs of PhD students and the intensive personal support 
 it provides\, the Graduate Centre offers postgraduate students optimum 
 conditions for their PhD-projects and a customised preparation for the time 
 thereafter\, both with regard to academic and non-academic careers.  
 Starting with 1st October 2010\, the GCSC offers up to 9 PhD scholarships 
 and 1 postdoctoral scholarship.  PhD scholarships include a monthly stipend 
 of approximately €1\,100 and are offered for one year with the 
 possibility of two extensions\, each year. The postdoctoral scholarship\, 
 with a monthly stipend of about €1\,500\, is limited to two years. All 
 scholarships start on 1st October\, 2010.  Acceptance of a scholarship 
 requires participation in the study program and the wide-ranging events 
 offered by the GCSC\, as well as active involvement in at least one GCSC 
 graduate research group. PhD scholarship holders must register as PhD 
 students at Justus Liebig University. There are no tuition fees for 
 doctoral students at JLU\, except for an enrolment fee of approximately 
 €200 per semester. All scholarship holders are expected to take up 
 residency in or near Giessen.  GCSC invites applications contributing to 
 the study of culture in various historical contexts as well as those 
 analysing contemporary phenomena. The GCSC encourages applications from 
 graduate students who have or expect to obtain a first or upper second 
 class honours M.A.-degree (or equivalent) in one of the GCSC’s academic 
 subjects* or in the arts/humanities\, cultural studies\, or social 
 sciences. Candidates applying for a post-doctoral scholarship should hold a 
 PhD in the arts/humanities\, cultural studies\, or social sciences\, have 
 an excellent academic record\, and pursue a research project relevant to 
 the GCSC’s research areas*. Fluency in either English or German is 
 required.  The main selection criteria are the candidates’ academic 
 qualification\, the academic quality of the research proposal and the 
 suitability of the project for the GCSC’s research program. Short-listed 
 candidates will be invited to a 30-minute interview.
