Fellowship | Crossroads Asia
The Competence Network Crossroads Asia has announced a fellowship program for 2015 with the application deadline 31 January 2015. The network is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and head office as well as the vacancy are located at the Centre for Development Studies (ZEF) of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Bonn.
The Competence Network ‘Crossroads Asia’ invites applications for fellowships from researchers from all over the world. Crossroads Asia’s research focuses on everyday practices of people between Eastern Iran and Northern India, as well as the Aral Sea and Western China, and how these practices inherently question existing categories of spatial organisation. The network brings together Area Studies expertise from Central, South Asian and Iranian Studies with the social sciences and humanities, namely geography, political science, sociology, linguistics, social anthropology. The network, funded by the Area Studies Initiative of the German Ministry of Education and Research, provides annual research fellowships for academics who embrace the core concepts of Crossroads Asia and carry out research on a topic that is relevant to the network but goes beyond the scope of existing projects.
Applications for the year 2015 should be sent to Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge (crossroads@unibonn.de) before 31 January 2015.
