NEW ST. ANDREWS POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS: Even though the Divinity School has had our first meeting to assign places in our postgraduate program for next year, some spaces are still available in Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism. Indeed, just today a new scholarship in this area has been announced on the University website. (See also the more general advertisement in the Guardian.) The relevant part of the University announcement reads:
New PhD scholarships in Arts and Divinity

St Andrews is Scotland's First University, and the Faculty of Arts has six hundred years of tradition and scholarship to draw upon. With the development of financial support and new facilities we are strengthening our position as one of the leading Universities in which to conduct research.

The University of St Andrews is committed to expanding its research postgraduate population in the Faculties of Arts and Divinity. We wish to recruit the best scholars from all over the world to be part of our thriving research culture to work alongside the many academics of international reputation within the University.

We are offering 46 scholarships equivalent to the value of a home fee (currently �3,010) for three years across the following Schools & specialisms:

[...]

Divinity
Three scholarships from: Hebrew Bible/Old Testament studies; Theology; Theology, Imagination and the Arts.

[...]

My italics. The application deadline is 30 April. "Hebrew Bible/Old Testament" is understood also to include ancient Judaism (e.g., the Dead Sea Scrolls, etc.). Application information is available at http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/services/admissions/pgadmission.shtml. I am the postgraduate officer for Divinity, so please contact me if you have any questions. If you've been thinking of applying to our program, there's no time like the present.
