>Jacobsen, The Royal Institute of Philosophy is pleased to offer for the
>academic year 2002--2003 seven Royal Institute of Philosophy Jacobsen
>Fellowships for research in certain fundamental parts of philosophy. The

>The parts of philosophy are Speculative Metaphysics, Critical Metaphysics,
>the Philosophy of Mind, Epistemology, Philosophical Logic, Philosophy of
>Life, Determinism, the Nature of Life, Evolution, Moral Philosophy,
>Political and Social Philosophy. This list is in accordance with the
>philosophical interests of Mr. Jacobsen.

>In addition, postgraduates are offered eight Royal Institute of Philosophy
>Bursaries for 2002-2003 of £1,000 each, also for one year, but with no
>restrictions as to area of study. Candidates may be considered for both
>Fellowships and Bursaries, but if awarded a Fellowship a student will not
>also be offered a Bursary.
>
>Fellowships and Bursaries will be available only to postgraduate students
>who have already completed at least one year of work for a higher degree in
>philosophy in a British University. In making the awards, in accordance
>with its own remit, The Royal Institute of Philosophy will be seeking
>candidates whose work, while rigorous, avoids needless technicality and is
>in the tradition of philosophy as a humane discipline.
>
>In order to be considered for Fellowships or Bursaries or, where
>appropriate, both, applicants should submit a curriculum vitae of not more
>than 1,000 words, together with a statement of not more than 500 words
>outlining their research project. They should also arrange for two academic
>referees from the institution at which they are currently studying to write
>on their behalf direct to The Royal Institute of Philosophy. Candidates
>will not normally be called for interview.
>
>No one will be awarded either a Fellowship or a Bursary who is in receipt
>of any other award for the academic year 2002-2003 of over £2,000. In view
>of this restriction, The Royal Institute of Philosophy will be unable to
>make its final decisions prior to the announcement of the British
>Academy/AHRB studentships in September 2002. In making their applications,
>candidates must notify the Institute of their contact address as it will be
>in September 2002; should their plans change the Institute must be informed
>immediately.

>Applications and references should be sent on or before June 3rd 2002 to
