Your help in spreading the word for any potential student would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! This is to remind you that the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology and the Department of Cognitive Science at CEU are still accepting applications for the Social Mind Area-Scholarships for Interdisciplinary Doctoral Studies for 2016/2017. “Social Mind” is one of the four university-wide intellectual themes identified as CEU’s new focal directions. Applications are invited from candidates who demonstrate a strong interest and motivation to pursue their doctoral research in the field of cultural transmission focusing on projects that fall within one of two predefined areas of inter-disciplinary research: memory or pedagogy. The successful applicants will work under the joint supervision of faculty members from the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology and the Department of Cognitive Science at CEU, and receive cross-disciplinary training in the standard research methodologies, core conceptual approaches and relevant analytical models of these disciplines. As part of this integrated training program, fellows will develop field-based projects in a collaborative frame. They will acquire expertise in mixed-methods research, analytical skills and research experience that are necessary for pursuing collaborative interdisciplinary research in this field.
