The Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies of the Cluster of

University welcomes applications for four doctoral scholarships
beginning in the winter semester 2015/16. 

The programme offers a monthly scholarship of 1.200 Euro. It further

scholarships are reserved for young scholars from Asia. 

Applicants are expected to propose a doctoral project with a strong
affiliation to one of the four research areas of the Cluster. They
must hold an M.A. or equivalent in a discipline of the humanities or
social sciences with an above-average grade. Applications, including
a CV, a letter of intention, a project proposal, a schedule for the
dissertation, and two letters of recommendation are submitted through
an Online Application System. 

After an initial evaluation and selection, applicants will be asked
to get in contact with possible supervisors at the Cluster of
Excellence to discuss their project proposal. The most promising
candidates will be invited to present their projects to the selection
committee in Heidelberg around mid-May. Shortly after this, the
scholarships will be awarded. 

The deadline for applications is March 15, 2015.

The Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" is an
interdisciplinary network of researchers at Heidelberg University.
About 200 scholars examine in which dynamics the transcultural
processes between and within Asia and Europe develop.
