Are you a FASoS professor and have you spotted a talented Humanities student who either has completed a master’s programme (esp. a Research master’s), or is currently enrolled in his/her last year of a master’s programme? FASoS may nominate 3 fte of candidates for the NWO programme ‘PhDs in the Humanities‘. Candidates are scouted and selected through an internal procedure. The first internal deadline for applications is Monday 15 December 2014.
NWO wishes to increase the number of PhD promotions in the humanities and therefore has started a call PhDs in the Humanities (‘Promoties in de Geesteswetenschappen’).
Two types of PhD positions can be applied for in the programme PhDs in the Humanities:
• standard PhD positions (4 years, 1 fte or 5 years, 0.8 fte)
• PhD positions for lecturers (5 years, 0.5 fte)
Proposals can only be submitted for PhD candidates who are selected by the dean of FASoS. For this purpose, FASoS has established an internal selection procedure coordinated by the Graduate School Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee shortlists the candidates; the dean makes the final decision on nomination to NWO. NWO makes the final selection and decides who will actually receive the grant.
The complete international selection procedure can be found at the graduate school website of the FASoS research portal. The Deadline for submitting application to NWO is 2 March 2015.
