The Department of Culture and Identity at Roskilde University, Denmark, is offering a Ph.D. scholarship granted under the auspices of the Centre for Cultural and Linguistic Practices in the International University (CALPIU) by the Danish Research Council for Culture and Communication.
The centre invites applicants to propose projects dealing with student-student or student-administration (e.g. supervision) communicative interaction within international study programmes.
The successful applicant should have a background in Ethnomethodology/Conversation Analysis, Interactive Sociolinguistics or Discourse Analysis, preferably in combination with studies in Anthropology, Linguistics, Sociology or similar fields. The successful applicant should be proficient in both Danish and English. It would be an advantage, but not a requirement, to have some competence in one other language of relevance to CALPIU, such as Polish or Mandarin.The Ph.D. scholarship will be available from the 1st of August, 2009.
The scholarship will last for a period of three years. The successful applicant will be asked to contribute 840 hours of work to the Department (teaching on one of the Department’s Master’s programmes and disseminating research to a broad audience etc.). Danish candidates should also expect, preferably, to carry out research abroad for at least six months. The Department’s research programme cooperates with GradEast (”Forskerskole Øst”), and the Ph.D. candidate will be expected to enrol in GradEast.
The salary and other terms of employment are based on the general agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). All qualified candidates are urged to apply regardless of age, gender, religion or ethnic background.
The application must be in Danish or English and include a CV, documentation (copies) of examinations passed, and a project description of a maximum of 5 pages. The description should include an outline of the problem area to be studied, the research questions raised, the theoretical approach taken as well as methodological considerations and a work and time plan.
