Hong Kong PhD Fellowships, Lingnan University

The department of philosophy at Lingnan University, which is one of the strongest (if not the strongest) in analytic philosophy in Asia, is interested in supporting applications for Hong Kong PhD Fellowships. The department is especially strong in philosophy of science, with four of the faculty working in the area, and also has several other members interested in cognate areas such as epistemology and metaphysics.

The Fellowships provide a yearly stipend of 240,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is considerably higher than the median income of local households, in addition to a small fund for research-related travel expenses. They last for three years.

You can find out more about the philosophy department at http://www.ln.edu.hk/philoso/, and the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship scheme at http://cerg1.ugc.edu.hk/hkpfs/index.html.

Please get in touch with Dr Darrell P. Rowbottom, at darrellrowbottom@ln.edu.hk, if you are interested in this opportunity! He would be happy to hear from you...
