CfA: Fellowships in Anthropology for East European students

NEW FULLY FUNDED DOCTORAL RESEARCH POSSIBILITIES AIMED AT EASTERN EUROPEANS PRIMARILY

Marie Curie SocAnth is an EU funded training programme now in its second year aiming to promote the development of Anthropological research and teaching in central, eastern and South-eastern Europe. SocAnth will provide 6 doctoral scholarships in September 2007 to doctoral students from or working in our target region.

30% of our appointed students may however come from outside of the EU (and associate states) so long as their projects fit our overall aims. Anthropology doctorands from anywhere else in the world who wish to research in our target region or on targetted themes may thus also apply for funding.

As well as this PhD funding we will also be offering approximately thirteen short term visits to the network to PhD students carrying out research in eastern Europe and other former socialist states (including China) this coming academic year.

Finally we offer one 10 month visit, hosted by Babes Bolyai
University, Cluj, Romania to carry out supervised fieldwork and
research in Romania or Moldova.

The 'SocAnth' network comprises: University College London (UCL) and Goldsmith's College, Britain (GSM); Central European University, Hungary (CEU); Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany (MPISA) and Babes-Bolyai University, Romania (BBU).
