Analysis studentship (postgraduate) in philosophy, United Kingdom

The Analysis Committee proposes to award at least one and up to three studentships equal to the full-time maintenance grant for an Arts and Humanities Research Council postgraduate studentship for the year 2015-016. The studentship is designed to support a promising philosopher who does not have other means of support (e.g. a temporary or permanent lectureship or a research fellowship) and to enable him or her to conduct full-time research. The funds are solely for maintenance and support of research, and not institutional overheads.

Candidates for the studentship should be pursuing research at a British university, at the beginning of their academic career, and, at the time of taking up the award, should have completed at least three and no more than 5 years of full-time research, or the part-time equivalent. Candidates may make a case for circumstances that exempt them from these eligibility criteria. The research should be on a subject which falls under the traditional concerns of Analysis. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will have recently completed a PhD or be very close to completion, and have a CV which would make him or her a strong contender for a Junior Research Fellowship or similar appointment.

Deadline for applications: 27 April 2015. For more information, see http://www.analysistrust.org/society/analysis/studentship.html
