The Doctoral Program in Literary Studies of the University of Basel calls for applications for a one-year start-up grant of CHF 30,000.
The Doctoral Program in Literary Studies of the University of Basel calls for applications for a one-year start-up grant of CHF 30,000 each (duration: 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021, in two installments, with evaluation), starting 1 April 2020. The grant is designed to make a contribution to the successful applicants’ cost of living while they develop a PhD project in the area of literary studies. The aim of the start-up grants is to enable young researchers to develop a competitive application for a research grant or research project position and submit it to a funding institution by the end of the first six months. If successful, researchers will continue to work on their PhD thesis supported by third-party funds by the end of the start-up period.
Deadline for applications: 6 December 2019. Find out more about this opportunity over at the Doctoral Program in Literary Studies.
