PhD studentship, University of Leicester School of Management
Following similar competitions during the 2010-2011 academic session, the School of Management is delighted to be able to offer a PhD studentship, worth up to £18,072 per year over three years. This studentship is for full-time study only and will commence in April 2012. It will cover tuition fees (at the UK/EU rate only) and include a stipend of £13,590 each year. The successful candidate will also receive a Research Training Support Grant worth £750 each year.
Research Areas
We welcome studentship applications from those interested in the critical re-thinking of management, business and organization - especially in the areas of organization studies, finance, human resource management, marketing and related fields.
Eligibility
Suitable applications are encouraged from both UK/EU students and from international students (outside the EU). However, please note that the award covers the UK/EU tuition fee rate only: an international student would need to pay the difference between this and the international tuition fee rate themselves. Further, applicants need to specify on the University application form that they are applying for a PhD Studentship in Management.
Please see http://www2.e.ac.uk/departments/management/postgraduate/research for further information about the School's PhD programme and http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/management/postgraduate/research/fees for specific guidance on the studentship competition. The entry requirements for this studentship are identical to those for any other entrant on to the PhD programme, but the process requires an additional personal statement (see below). The closing date is 3rd January 2012.
How to Apply
All applicants for the studentship must submit a completed University of Leicester postgraduate application form, a CV, a PhD research proposal of no more than 4000 words, two references (preferably from academic institutions), copies of your degree transcripts and proof of English language capabilities where required (see the application form). References should either be signed and on official letterhead or sent from the referee's email account.
Your application form should specify in the department box on the first page that you are applying for the PhD Studentship in Management. You should also enter this information in the Financial Support section of the application form.
You also need to supply a 500 word statement explaining:
• why this studentship would enable you to do a PhD in financial terms - ie, details of why other funding is not available to you; and
• how your proposed research constitutes a critical rethinking of management, business and organization.
Please remember that we are especially keen to receive applications in the areas of organization studies, finance, human resource management, marketing and related fields. You should give equal attention to each aspect of the statement. It is also important that you read our Further Guidance on the studentship award when preparing your application (available on the programme website - URL above).
Please then send the statement, the application form, your CV, references, transcripts and research proposal (plus proof of language capabilities where relevant) directly to Teresa Bowdrey either by email at ulsmphdinfo@le.ac.uk (by scanning the documents and attaching them) or by post at: PhD Programme, University of Leicester School of Management, Ken Edwards Building, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK.
Again please do NOT apply online. All short-listed studentship applicants will be interviewed for suitability.
Time Frame for Applications
The deadline for applications for the 2012 studentship is 3rd January 2012. Studentship applications will be considered for April 2012 entry ONLY, and only for applicants who wish to study for a PhD full-time. No late applications will be accepted.
All applicants should allow a minimum of four weeks for an application to be considered.
We expect to interview for this award in mid-February 2012.
