The Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies at the University of
Sheffield invites applications for a fully-funded PhD scholarship dedicated to the folklore and literature of the Caucasus region. Proposals may pertain to
the folklore and literature itself, the history of scholarship on the question, and the role they have played in the formation of social and cultural
identity.

Fluency in Russian language is essential, and knowledge of one Caucasian language would be an advantage.

The scholarship includes all University fees, a grant for living expenses
and funds for approved research expenses.
