Sussex Research Scholarships in the Humanities
Further Details
The Graduate Centre in the School of Humanities at the University of Sussex
will make up to four awards for Doctoral research leading to a PhD to start
in October 2007. The awards will run for three years and will cover the
full cost of Home/EU fees plus a bursary of £5000 per annum. Students
taking the Scholarships will be expected to teach between 75 and 100 hours
per year in each of their Second and Third Years.
The awards can be held in any of the Departments in the School of
Humanities, which cover: American Studies, Art History, English Literature
and Linguistics, History, Media and Film Studies, Music and Philosophy.
Applicants should make themselves familiar with the range of expertise in
the School of Humanities via the University Website. While applicants do
not need to identify particular supervisors, they should frame their
research proposals in terms of the subjects in which we can offer
supervision.
These Scholarships are open to any Home or EU student who meets the
criteria, including those who have already applied to Sussex or elsewhere.
If the successful candidates have not applied to, and been accepted by, the
University of Sussex, those applicants will have to apply to the University
and be accepted before the Scholarship can be awarded.
Eligibility
These scholarships are only available to students in their first year of
study. We cannot accept applications from students who have already begun
work on their Doctorate at Sussex or elsewhere.
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain before they begin doctoral
work, a masters degree in a subject area relevant to their project. We
would normally expect the final result to be at B+ level or higher.
Application Process
Please submit :
" A CV detailing your academic history.
" A 500-word statement outlining your research proposal, headed by your
name and the title of your Doctoral Project.
" Two academic references, to be sent directly to the University.
" Information as to whether or not you have applied for Research Council
Funding at Sussex or elsewhere.
All documentation should be addressed to:

Deadline
The deadline for receipt of applications is Tuesday 12 June 2007.
Selection Process
The Graduate Centre will draw up a short-list of candidates by mid-July
2007 based on the applicants CVs and research project proposals. If your
name is on that list, you will be informed. If you are shortlisted and have
applied for Research Council or other funding, either for study at Sussex
or elsewhere, you must inform us of the outcome of your funding application
as soon as you know it, as this award cannot be held alongside a Research
Council or other award. Once shortlisted candidates have informed us of
their award status, we will return to the list and inform the successful
candidates by 15th September 2007.
