PHD SCHOLARSHIP: Health Humanities
The University of Cyprus (UCY) is pleased to announce two three-year Special Scientist PhD positions with a generous research allowance in an international, multi-partner EU project, employment beginning between June and August 2025.
The StoryPharm project, which is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action – Doctoral Networks, is announcing a total of 19 PhD fellowships within the training programme “Storytelling as Pharmakon in Premodernity and Beyond: Training the New Generation of Researchers in Health Humanities” (https://www.ucy.ac.cy/storypharm/). The focus of the project is on premodern narratives and images involving medicine, health, and healing. These will be studied from a transdisciplinary and comparative perspective, across linguistic and cultural borders.
