PhD Bursary in Management
January 2012
Applications are invited for a PhD bursary in the Department of Management at the University of Bristol. The successful candidate will conduct a programme of research for the degree of PhD and will also be expected to contribute to teaching within the Department. Candidates should have a first or upper second class Honours degree in a discipline related to their proposed research and should also hold (or be working towards) a Masters degree in a related subject. In all but exceptional cases, an MBA or similar generalist Masters in Management will not usually be considered.
The award is for three years beginning in January 2012. We welcome applications in any field of Management, but preference will be given to candidates focused on critical or quantitative methodologies.
More details of staff research interests can be found on the Department website at the following address: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/management/research/. Preference will be given to applicants who have already identified a potential supervisor and briefly explained how their proposal would fit into that supervisor’s current research interests.
There will be an annual bursary attached to the PhD post equivalent to the current home/EU research student fee in the School; together with a living allowance at the standard ESRC rate (currently £13, 590) plus an additional £3000.
The successful candidate will be required to provide up to 96 contact hours of teaching a year (for example, 4 contact hours a week for 24 weeks) and to carry out attendant duties, such as teaching preparation and marking. Conditions and the application procedure can be found on the Department of Management website.
The deadline for applications is 18 November 2011.
Item 2:
PhD studentship, University of Leicester School of Management
** change of deadline date ** now: 5th January 2012**
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 – i.e. 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 5th 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.
