The Bayreuth International Graduate School of African Studies (BIGSAS) 
at the University of Bayreuth in Germany offers three fully funded PhD 
scholarships beginning 10/2014 in the following research areas:

The successful candidate in the area 'Culture and Technology in Africa' 
will be supervised by me - please feel free to get in touch with 
inquiries via uli.beisel at gmail.com. I particularly welcome applications 
on questions of (renewable) energy and energopolitics in Africa. If you 
are interested in pursuing a PhD in this area, but do not have a 
concrete research proposal yet, please also get in touch with me as 
there may be an opportunity to link your PhD topic to a developing 
research project.

Applicants must have an excellent Master's Degree. Applications may be 
sent in German, English or French.
The working language of BIGSAS is English.

The online application portal is available at:
