ESRC STUDENTSHIPS FOR MRes+PhD/PhD: UCL Centre for Human Communication

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Friday 29^th January 2010

The UCL Centre for Human Communication is pleased to announce that it has been awarded two quota ESRC studentships for the academic year commencing September 2010 and is additionally able to nominate applications for an ESRC open competition studentship.

ESRC studentships provide up to four years full funding for postgraduate training. They cover tuition fees and include a maintenance grant.

The CHC will consider applicants for 1+3 quota and open studentships for the MRes in Speech, Language and Cognition followed by PhD research within the CHC group. Information about the MRes can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yb9p5d2

We will also consider applicants who have completed relevant Masters-level training for a 3 year PhD studentship within the CHC.

Applicants should send a CV, covering letter and the names and email addresses of two referees to Bronwen Evans at bronwen.evans@ucl.ac.uk. The covering letter should include an outline of the applicant's principal research interests. Applications for a 3 year PhD studentship must also outline a plan of the intended research. Ideally, this plan should have been discussed with a potential supervisor based at UCL. Staff details can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/psychlangsci/staff

All applications are subject to the ESRC’s nationality and residency restrictions and applicants are also asked to indicate in their submission that they meet these criteria. Information about these are available in the ESRC's Postgraduate Funding Guide, which applicants are strongly advised to consult when completing their application.

Deadline: Friday 29^th January 2010. Applications received after this date will still be considered for admission but will be too late to be considered for the ESRC quota studentship.
