2 Wellcome Trust PhD Studentships

Bioethics of Assisted Reproduction
Centre For Family Research, University of Cambridge

Applications are invited for 2 PhD studentships in bioethics in the Centre
for Family Research. These have arisen as part of a Bioethics Enhancement
Award from the Wellcome Trust. The studentships are available for a period
of three years commencing in October 2009. A maintenance grant at standard
Wellcome Trust rates (approximately £19500 per year, NI and tax-free), as
well as payment of University and College fees (home/EU student rate) will
be available to the successful candidates.

The Centre for Family Research (CFR) has approximately 25 members, and has
an annual research grants income that currently exceeds £500,000 pa. The
work of the Centre is described in detail on our website
http://www.ppsis.cam.ac.uk/CFR/ and potential applicants are encouraged to
look at this before applying.

The CFR has a long-standing reputation for empirical work in an area laden
with bioethical considerations - the use of assisted reproductive
technologies and the impact on children and families of living in the
variety of family forms that have become possible with these technologies.
The CFR has been granted a Bioethics Enhancement Award from the Wellcome
Trust to enable engagement between social scientists working at the
interface between empirical research and biomedical ethics, and
philosophers who focus on biomedical ethics in the field of assisted
reproduction. The aim is to integrate bioethical and empirical approaches
from the outset, thus enhancing both ethical analysis and empirical
research. The two PhD students will choose their research area from within
the broad scope of the award which will address issues including parental
rights, autonomy, consent and the welfare of children in relation to three
newly-emerging family forms resulting from assisted reproductive
procedures: (i) gay father families (ii) single mothers by choice, and
(iii) donor siblings (i.e. donor conceived children raised in different
families who the same donor). Each student will be co-supervised by
Professor Susan Golombok and a bioethicist with interests relevant to the
subject of the PhD.

It is anticipated that the successful applicants will have a Masters degree
or equivalent in philopsophy, bioethics or a related subject; applicants
without a Masters should hold a first degree at 2:1 or first class level or
the equivalent standard from a European University.

Information about the admissions criteria can be found in the Graduate
Studies Prospectus on the universtiy web site
http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/.

Formal application for admission to the University of Cambridge as a
graduate student requires the completion of an application form provided by
the Board of Graduate Studies. This formal procedure should not begin until
after the selection process is complete and the successful applicants have
been recommended by the Centre.

For further information about the Enhancement Award and the studentships,
please email: Abby Scott at [log in to unmask]

Applications should include i) a full CV ii) a covering letter explaining
how your educational, research and employment (if applicable) experiences
make you the right person to take up this studentship iii) a brief 1-2 page
proposal of the sort of research you might wish to undertake within the
bioethics programme and how you would go about it and iv) the names and
full contact details of two referees familiar with recent relevant
experiences. Please note that the proposal you describe here will not
necessarily be the area you eventually choose to work in.

Applications should be emailed to Abby Scott at the above address by 4.00pm
on Friday, 10th April 2009.

Candidates to be called for interview will be contacted by 22nd April 2009.

Interviews will be held on May 1st 2009.
