fees will be paid. The scholarship is open to native speakers of
Hindi, with a linguistics background, and requires the successful

MA by research or a higher research degree in Linguistics
(MPhil/DPhil). Continuation of the scholarship is subject to
satisfactory academic performance. The recipient of the scholarship

Holland Institute of Generative Linguistics

The Holland Institute of Generative Linguistics (HIL) is a research
institute of Leiden University, the Universiteit van Amsterdam and the
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Research within the institute focuses on
generative linguistics.

HIL is part of the Dutch national graduate school in linguistics,
LOT. HIL is a training institute for linguistic researchers. From 1
September, 1998, in this context there are positions for

 THREE Ph.D. STUDENTS
 (reference number: 7/039)

Two students ("AIO"-positions) will be placed at Leiden University and
one ("bursary position") at the University of Amsterdam.

The students will receive a salary or grant. Contingent on good
progress, the position will be renewed for a maximum of four years. In
general, the position will only be given to students who have received
their undergraduate degree no longer than five years ago. For every
student a supervision and training programme will be drawn up
according to the HIL regulations. The research project should result
in a promotion at the participating university.

Applications should be accompanied by a curriculum vitae, two
references, a copy of the doctoral diploma and grade-list, and, if
possible, other relevant written results of the candidate (papers,
articles, and the undergraduate thesis).

HIL graduate students are expected to carry out research projects that
fit in with the HIL research programme. To prepare for an exploratory
interview that HIL will invite short-list candidates for, applicants
are requested to include a short description of the research topic
they are interested in (max. 3 pages).

Students who have not yet obtained their undergraduate degree should
include a statement by their supervisor that they will obtain this
degree before 1 September, and a description of the research topic of
their undergraduate thesis (max. 3 pages).
