The Foundation for the Sociology of Health & Illness (the charity which owns
the journal ‘Sociology of Health & Illness’), in addition to its usual
part-funding of postgraduate awards, is offering one fully-funded 1+3 PhD
studentship worth £72,500 over a four-year period, for a full-time PhD on a
medical sociological topic. This award is to be named the Gerry Stimson
Award, after Prof Gerry Stimson who has recently retired from Imperial
College and who played a large part in setting up the journal in the 1970s.
In addition, the Foundation is doubling the value of its annual part-funded
PhD award scheme. Now the Foundation is offering 1+3 awards worth £3,000 per
annum to the student and £3,000 per annum to the host department for a
full-time or a part-time PhD on a medical sociological topic. One such award
will be offered for a start in 2006/07.
Applications for both the Gerry Stimson Award and the part-funded award must
be made by the would-be supervisor to the Foundation by 31/1/06. One
application will suffice for consideration for both the Gerry Stimson Award
and the part-funded award. Application forms, guidance notes and further
details can be found on the Foundation website: www.shifoundation.org.uk
<http://www.shifoundation.org.uk/> .
The Foundation is not offering any part-funding for MSc studies in 2006/07.
