PhD research in the culture of the Caucasus

We now invite applications for a fully-funded PhD opportunity for research dedicated to the folklore and literature of the Caucasus region.

Proposals may pertain to the folklore and literature itself, the history of scholarship on the question, and the role they have played in the formation of social and cultural identity.

Fluency in Russian language is essential, and knowledge of one Caucasian language would be an advantage.

The scholarship includes all University fees, a grant for living expenses and funds for approved research expenses. For more information please contact Professor Susan E Reid.

Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funding

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has awarded the University of Sheffield a number of studentships in specified subject areas and for specified schemes (Research Preparation Masters, Professional Preparation Masters and Doctoral). AHRC funded studentships are now available through the AHRC Block Grant Partnership (BGP).

Through the BGP, the University is now awarding studentships to prospective postgraduate students, on a competitive basis and subject to AHRC approval. EU nationals accepted to study on programmes and in subject areas for which BGP studentships have been allocated will be eligible for nomination to AHRC.

Please note that in order to be considered for an AHRC studentship, you must first apply to the University for admission to an appropriate programme of study.
