Thanks I need to start working on my doctoral project proposal soon; I've got a plan for it, but it's very hard to get any funding for academic research at the moment.
Oh yeah... I am working on my PhD, but I get no money for it, so I am not sure if I will even be able to finish it. I've already applied for scholarships from four different organisations, but to no avail. There is two more I could get one from, so I hope that will work. If not, there don't even seem to be too many alternatives really. PhD posts seem to be rare, I only found two- one in Cologne, but I am not sure if my topic would fit the theoretical frame, and one in Galway, where I am not sure if any of the supervisors would fit. So even if I wanted to move, it's difficult. And I really find it a great shame, when people talk about ''promoting our talented youth'' all the time, but then there's so little money for the humanities...
So, just saying, I understand your situation
Take your time and see if you can find the funding, and if not, be aware that you could end up needing to work in a side job, which will also extend the length of the PhD (time wise).

We have a Serbian visiting professor at our university since last year, who is a nice chap, but he's working on topics about Classic Athens rather than Roman Serbia
