Applications are invited for the Sigrid Rausing MIASU PhD Studentship in the Social Anthropology of Inner Asia. The studentship, funded by a generous donation from the Sigrid Rausing Trust, will cover the University Composition Fee (tuition fees) and maintenance at the home fee rate. Applications from international students are welcome. Whilst we endeavour, where possible, to award full studentships, international students may be required to cover the fee gap between the home and overseas fee rates. The studentship is available for full-time students only and normally tenable for three years. Those wishing to be considered should make an application to the doctoral programme at the Department of Social Anthropology to carry out research in the region of Inner Asia, since to be eligible for the award, applicants must be accepted onto the doctoral programme. Candidates must apply for the PhD in Social Anthropology through the University's Graduate Admissions application portal by no later than the closing date Wednesday 30 April 2025. Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance. Please note that there is no need for a separate application: applicants meeting the above criteria will automatically be considered for the studentship when they apply for the PhD in Social Anthropology. The studentship would not be normally awarded to existing students. In addition to being students at the Department of Social Anthropology, successful applicants will be offered membership of the Department's Mongolia & Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU).
