*(Ref.: RF-2009/2010-405)*

The Society of Scholars in the Humanities at the University of Hong Kong is
a society of young scholars involved in cutting-edge research. It is
designed to encourage critical and creative thought both within and between
the disciplines in the Arts and Humanities. There are four research
Scholarships for 2010, one in each of the following fields: Comparative
Literature (including Film Studies), Linguistics, Music (including
Composition and Ethnomusicology) and Philosophy.

* *

Each Scholarship is for two years and is non-renewable. Applicants are
invited from all educational institutions across the world. The Scholarships
are intended for researchers early in their careers to carry out innovative
research. Candidates are expected to be either graduate students in the
final stages of their Ph.D. studies, or researchers who have been awarded
their Ph.D. degree for not more than two years from the date of application.
Details about the Society are available at *
http://www.soh.hku.hk/ssh/2010/index.html*.

* *

Scholars will be provided with free accommodation, office space, airfares
for overseas candidates, a research grant of up to HK$14,000 a year, and a
stipend of HK$23,000 per month. (Scholars who have not yet been awarded a Ph
.D. degree will receive a salary of HK$19,000 per month.) Successful
candidates will be appointed as Research Scholar.

* *

Although the Scholarship is primarily designed to encourage original
research, Scholars will be expected to teach one course per year, interact
with staff and students, present their research in colloquia and
conferences, and organize a lecture series. All Scholars are expected to be
resident in Hong Kong during the teaching semesters and may carry out
research abroad for up to 100 days a year.



The application form along with CV, research proposal (max. 1500 words) and
two referees' reports *must* be received by the School of Humanities by *March
31, 2010*.  All Scholarships begin on September 1, 2010.  Further
particulars and application forms can be obtained at *
http://www.soh.hku.hk/ssh/2010/applications.html*. Enquiries about the
Scholarship can be directed to Ms. Vivian Chu, Secretary of the Society of
Scholars (e-mail: [log in to unmask]).* There are no interviews. Successful
applicants will be notified no later than June 30, 2010.*
