Funded Graduate Studentships

Dr. Josh Lepawsky in the Department of Geography at Memorial University 
of Newfoundland is seeking graduate students (MA or PhD) 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?

Please include a curriculum vitae or a brief description of your program 
of study.
