A full-time PhD scholarship is available in Modern History at Macquarie University.
Please quote the allocation reference number 2010076 on your application form.
Project Description: The Mongol, Russian and Soviet empires, the largest contiguous empires ever created, arose not in the populous lands of "Outer Eurasia", but in Eurasia's thinly settled heartlands. How did this under-resourced region exert such a vast influence on its richer and more populous neighbours from prehistory to the present day? This project will address this large question through the writing of a synoptic history of the entire region. It will reinterpret the region's role in world history and the contemporary world.
Prospective applicants should, in the first instance, submit a cover letter detailing relevant experience, a CV and an academic transcript to the principal supervisor: David Christian, email: david.christian@mq.edu.au, phone: 02 9850 8769.
The 2010 MQRES full-time stipend rate is $22,500 pa tax exempt for 3.5 years.
Applicants will need to complete a candidature/scholarship application form and arrange for two academic referee reports to be submitted to the Higher Degree Research Office. Refer to: http://www.hdr.mq.edu.au/information_about/applications for further application instructions. Macquarie University will advise the successful applicant of entitlements at the time of scholarship offer. Please quote the allocation number on your application.
