[INDOLOGY] Graduate Programme

[Michaels, Axel]

Prof. Melville asks me to forward the following announcement:
The „Forschungsstelle für Vergleichende Ordensgeschichte (FOVOG) (Research Centre for the Comparative History of Religious Orders), Technische Universität Dresden, is going to establish a
Graduate Programme focusing on the Interreligious Comparison of Monastic Cultures (ICMC)
beginning between 1 October and 1 November 2013.
The programme includes two Ph.D. grants for the religious cultures of the Indian Subcontinent. The deadline for applications is 31 May 2013.

The programme will extend over four years (with an evaluation after two years) and will enable the successful applicants to complete a doctoral thesis. The grant includes a bursary of 1.200.- € net per month. Office space, a book fund, funding for research visits to libraries, for workshops and for the invitation of distinguished visiting scholars will also be provided.
Applicants are expected to have obtained an excellent Master degree in Indian Cultural and Religious Studies.
They are expected to engage in cultural comparisons with other forms of monasticism, their own projects focusing on monastic rules from the Indian Subcontinent. The project is not tied to any predetermined historical period.

Queries and applications are to be addressed to:
