H-ASIA December 11, 2013 PhD student scholarships, ANU ************ From: Andrew Kipnis <andrew.kipnis@ANU.EDU.AU> Call for Interest Professor Andrew Kipnis of The Australian National University is recruiting two PhD students to work with him on projects involving ethnographic research in China. One student will examine relationships between a factory and the local government in a prefectural level city in Hebei province while a second will examine the commercialization of ritual in the city of Jinan. The projects will provide a PhD student stipend at the ARC rate (currently A$27,652 per annum), tax free, paid in fortnightly instalments, plus provide funding for the fieldwork. The scholarships will be funded for three years in the first instance, subject to satisfactory progress. To be eligible, students must hold a bachelor degree with a result of at least an upper second-class honours, or equivalent, or a Masters degree with a significant research thesis that has received a good result. In the American system, "equivalence" would be constituted by a four-year undergraduate degree with very good marks that also included an Honour's thesis or independent study project, 10,000 words or more in length, with the thesis itself having received a very good mark, or a Master's degree which involved writing a thesis of at least a similar length which received a very good mark. In addition, applicants should have a level of Chinese language ability that is good enough to conduct research in China and to have written a paper of at least 10,000 words in English (for applicants who did their degrees at universities where English is not the medium of instruction, who will also need to have taken the IELTS and received an overall result of 6.5 of higher). A strong background in sociocultural anthropology, sociology, political science, or Asian Studies is desirable. Though preference will be given to citizens of Australia or New Zealand, interested international students are encouraged to apply. The application deadline will be January 31, 2014 with the selected students to take up the scholarship as soon as possible, but no later than December 15, 2014. For more information on the projects themselves, the application procedures, or PhDs at The Australian National University, please contact Andrew Kipnis at andrew.kipnis@anu.edu.au. ********************************************************************* To post to H-ASIA simply send your message to: <H-ASIA@h-net.msu.edu> For holidays or short absences send post to: <listserv@h-net.msu.edu> with message: SET H-ASIA NOMAIL Upon return, send post with message SET H-ASIA MAIL H-ASIA WEB HOMEPAGE URL: <http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/> --
