Opportunities to become a PhD student in Language and communication

Preproposals for the Dutch 2023 NWO call PhDs in the Humanities
The Centre for Language Studies (CLS) of Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands calls for submissions of preproposals for the Dutch Research Council’s (NWO) call PhDs in the Humanities.

Radboud University can nominate a limited number of prospective PhD students with their project proposals to NWO for research funding. Funding would entail a four-year appointment at Radboud University. CLS invites students who are interested in Linguistics or Communication research to respond to our call by submitting a preproposal to CLS. CLS will provide supervision and guidance to a selected number of candidates, in what is a staged procedure.

Staged procedure:
The procedure to become eligible as an NWO PhD candidate consists of five stages:
- submission of your preproposal to CLS (see below for details);
- a limited number of applicants will be offered the possibility of submitting an expanded preproposal in November 2022;
- from these applicants, a smaller number of candidates will be selected to write a full proposal, with support from, among others, our research grant office. The full proposal has to be submitted in January 2023;
- the best one or two proposals will be submitted by Radboud University to NWO for the Dutch national competition for PhDs in the Humanities funding;
- the best candidates nationwide will receive funding from NWO. The PhD candidates selected by NWO will start their project on 1 September 2023. See last year’s procedure: https://www.nwo.nl/en/calls/phds-humanities-2022

What can be applied for?
Applicants that are selected by NWO will receive a fixed-term appointment at Radboud University. PhD student appointments in the domain of Humanities generally take 4 years full time, including half a year of academic service and/or teaching. The appointment will cover the candidate’s salary and up to €5000 for basic research expenses. Candidates will have at least two supervisors, one of whom must be a full professor or a designated associate professor at Radboud University.

How to apply in stage 1 (Preproposal)?
Applicants have to submit the following:
- a CV with a list of grades for BA and (Research)MA (max. 2 pages). The MA program needs to be related to Linguistics or Communication Science and to be completed before 1 September 2023, which has to be confirmed by your diploma or a written statement of the thesis supervisor;
- the preproposal, i.e., a brief description of the proposed PhD research topic/question and its relation to CLS (max. 200 words, excl. references). Read the mission and focus areas of CLS: https://www.ru.nl/cls/
- a motivated list of up to 4 preferred potential CLS supervisors (see the CLS website for a list of researchers). Please do not contact the supervisors yourself.

Your application has to be submitted by 26 September 2022, 23:59 (GMT+1) as a single pdf attachment in an e-mail to GSHcoordinator@let.ru.nl with in the subject line “Preproposal PhD in the Humanities 2023”.

Selected applicants will be contacted by their potential supervisors no later than 14 October 2022. The other applicants will not be informed.
