PhD Visiting Scholarships at SPIRIT - Aalborg University

Up to three visiting scholarships are available at the Doctoral School SPIRIT, Aalborg University, in the Fall.

The application deadline is 15 May.

Duration of scholarship: 15 August-15 December.

Monthly stipend: DKK 7,000 (to cover rent and other living expenses during the stay).

In addition to this SPIRIT will cover one round-trip ticket.

Who can apply: PhD candidates who are enrolled in a PhD program outside Denmark and whose PhD project falls within one or more of the thematic areas of the doctoral school:

  • Transnational orders reconstructed, focusing on the nature and origins of processes of internationalisation and globalisation, including the relationship between ‘the west and the rest’, cultural exchange through history, securitization, and alternative futures for ‘developing’ countries.
  • Interregional transformations, focusing on both macro-regional processes such as integration within the EU and NAFTA, and sub-national regionalism as processes related to identity, governance, and economic development strategies.
  • Global and local identities, focusing on conceptual and empirical studies of globalisation as a complex and conflict-ridden process, and on modern and contemporary challenges to existing socio-economic relations, political actors, entrenched identities and everyday life which are posed by new conceptions of gender, nation, class, and ethnicity.
  • Managing interculturalism, focusing on the challenges to private firms and public policy posed by the increasingly transnational nature of production of goods and services, international migration, and the increased cultural creolisation of consumption in large parts of the world, from everyday household goods to exotic tourism experiences.

    Requirements

    Applicants must be enrolled in a PhD program and the stay at SPIRIT should be an integral part of their PhD studies.
