 The Department of Linguistics and English Language at the
 University of Durham is offering two PhD studentships, renewable
 up to three years, starting 1 October 2000. The studentships
 cover fees at the Home/European Union (EU) rate plus maintenance.
 (If a non-EU candidate wins an award, the Department may decide
 on an individual basis to supplement the award with a further
 grant for the difference between EU fees and overseas fees.
 Please contact the Department for details.)

 Qualified candidates must hold, or expect to hold, by the academic
 year 1999-2000, a minimum of an upper second class honours
 undergraduate degree (or the equivalent, e.g. high B+ average
 documented by transcript) with training in linguistics. Preference
 will be given to applicants with a strong Master's degree (or
 equivalent) in Theoretical Linguistics, Language Acquisition, or
 Applied Linguistics.

 To apply, send for application materials to the address below.
 These materials will consist of a University application form (also
 downloadable, with accompanying guidance notes for completion, at
 http://www.dur.ac.uk/~dcm0www/pg_form.htm and a departmental
 questionnaire. For the former, University transcripts (and official
 TOEFL or IELTS scores, where applicable), a (short) PhD thesis
 proposal--covering research area, relevance and broad timetable--and
 two letters of recommendation are required. Please note that only
 complete University applications can be considered, the two letters
 of reference inclusive. The deadline for submission is 8 June 2000.
 (Qualified candidates who have already applied for doctoral study
 starting in October 2000 will automatically be considered.)

 These awards will be subject to annual renewal, dependent on
