Grants for doctoral students in the graduate class "Secularities and Cultural Dynamics", University of Leipzig
Deadline: 15 January 2011
Within the graduate class "Secularities and Cultural Dynamics", the University of Leipzig offers 5 grants for doctoral students for the period from April 2011 to March 2013 (with the possibility of an extension for a further year).
The class is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of secularity in various parts of the world and historical periods. Of particular interest are the cultural dynamics that accompany secularity, as well as interactions between the religious and the secular. We are looking for persons with an above-average degree in the humanities or social sciences. The grants are conditional upon matriculation in the graduate class. The University of Leipzig has set itself the goal of raising the proportion of women and therefore urges women to apply. Persons with physical disabilities will be given preference in cases of equal aptitude.
Applications in German or English should be accompanied by:
• letter of application
• max. 10-page description of the research project, including a timetable
• curriculum vitae and certificates
• list of publications, if applicable
• letter of reference from a university lecturer.
Please send these in electronic form (as pdf files) to: saekularitaeten@uni-leipzig.de
