    Graduate Scholarship in Hindi and Linguistics

    We have available from October 1998 a graduate scholarship worth GBP6298 to cover living expenses and travel. In addition all tuition fees will be paid. The scholarship is open to native speakers of Hindi, with a linguistics background, and requires the successful applicant to register for one of the one year MA taught-courses, the MA by research or a higher research degree in Linguistics (MPhil/DPhil). Continuation of the scholarship is subject to satisfactory academic performance. The recipient of the scholarship is required to teach for up to 6 hours per week on the Department's undergraduate Hindi courses.

    Research specialisations of the Department cover syntax, semantics, phonetics, non-segmental approaches to phonology, history of phonetics/phonology, sociolinguistics of society, language variation and change. Applicants are not necessarily expected to have research interests in Hindi.

    Anyone interested in this scholarship should contact Mrs C Bennison (email: cab4york.ac.uk), Graduate Secretary in the Department, for an application form for graduate study. The form should be returned with

    (i) a brief curriculum vitae

    The Holland Institute of Generative Linguistics (HIL) is a research institute of Leiden University, the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Research within the institute focuses on generative linguistics.

    HIL is part of the Dutch national graduate school in linguistics, LOT. HIL is a training institute for linguistic researchers. From 1 September, 1998, in this context there are positions for

    THREE Ph.D. STUDENTS (reference number: 7/039)

    Two students ("AIO"-positions) will be placed at Leiden University and one ("bursary position") at the University of Amsterdam.

    The students will receive a salary or grant. Contingent on good progress, the position will be renewed for a maximum of four years. In general, the position will only be given to students who have received their undergraduate degree no longer than five years ago. For every student a supervision and training programme will be drawn up according to the HIL regulations. The research project should result in a promotion at the participating university.

    Applications should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae, two references, a copy of the doctoral diploma and grade-list, and, if possible, other relevant written results of the candidate (papers, articles, and the undergraduate thesis).

    HIL graduate students are expected to carry out research projects that fit in with the HIL research programme. To prepare for an exploratory interview that HIL will invite short-list candidates for, applicants are requested to include a short description of the research topic they are interested in (max. 3 pages).

    Students who have not yet obtained their undergraduate degree should include a statement by their supervisor that they will obtain this degree before 1 September, and a description of the research topic of their undergraduate thesis (max. 3 pages).
