Dear Colleagues

While the positions are not in Indian Studies, the members of this list have broad interests, and are familiar with a broad range of young scholars, so I dare to share with you here an ad for two PhD positions, and ask that you circulate it to interested colleagues.

A newly begun ERC-funded project, Buddhism's Early Spread to Tibet (BEST), based at LMU, has two PhD positions. The situation is what one would expect for this type of position, but one thing needs to be clarified:

According to the salary calculation scheme of LMU the positions are listed as "part-time" but in fact they expect full-time engagement in the research and team-work of the BEST project. For further questions, please contact Prof. Silk as indicated in the call.


I also attach the ad itself.
I very much appreciate in advance any help you can offer to publicize these opportunities.
