Funded Graduate Studentships

Funded Graduate Studentships

interested in studying the international trade and traffic of
electronic waste (e-waste). These studentships are funded through a
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Environmental Issues
Research Grant.

Ideal applicants will be recent or current undergraduates (for MA
positions) or graduates (for PhD positions) with some background in
cultural, economic, or political geography (or cognate disciplines,
including STS), and/or Asian Studies. The ability to conduct
fieldwork in Asian contexts, including but not limited to China,
India, and Singapore, would be especially advantageous.

Eligibility

The studentships are conditional on successful admission to the
graduate program. Applicants need not secure, or apply for, admission
prior to application for these studentships. Annual renewal of the
studentships are subject to satisfactory progress towards graduate
degree completion. International applications are welcome.

The Department of Geography at Memorial University offers attractive
funding packages for graduate students. There are numerous internal
and external scholarship and fellowship opportunities for competitive
applicants.

Potential applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Josh Lepawsky
directly by e-mail for further information about the studentships.
Applicants should include in their message answers to the following
questions:

1. Why are you interested in e-waste as a research topic?

2. What sort of research questions do you have in mind?

3. How do you anticipate answering them?

4. What do you see yourself bringing to the broader research project
that might enrich it?
