Dear Radstaters,
Here at the University of Leicester School of Management we have three studentships available for doctoral research to begin next year. We would be very interested in any critical or 'rad' projects focusing on and/or using statistics. Please forward to anyone you think might be interested.
Yours, Robert Cluley

"University of Leicester School of Management PhD studentships 2011
Following a similar competition during the 2009-2010 academic session, the School is delighted to be able to offer three new PhD studentships, worth up to £17, 845 per year over three years. The studentships are for full-time study only and will commence in April 2011. They will cover tuition fees (at the UK/EU rate only) and include a stipend of £13,620 each year. The successful candidates will also receive a Research Training Support Grant worth £750 each year.
We welcome studentship applications from those interested in the critical re-thinking of management, business, and organization - especially in the areas of organization studies, human resource management, marketing and related fields. Suitable applications are encouraged from both UK/EU students and from international students (outside the EU). However, please note that the awards cover the UK/EU tuition fee rate only: international students will need to pay the difference between this and the international tuition fee rate themselves. Further, applicants need to specify on the University application form that they are applying for a PhD Studentship in Management.
How to Apply for the 2011 Studentships
. All applicants for the studentships must submit a completed application form, a CV, a PhD research proposal of no more than 4000 words, two references (preferably from academic institutions), copies of your degree transcripts and proof of English language capabilities where required (see the application form). References should either be signed and on official letterhead or sent from the referee's email account. Your application form should specify in the department box on the first page that you are applying for a PhD Studentship in Management. You should also enter this information in the Financial Support section of the application form. The application form and guidance on the research proposal are available at http://www.le.ac.uk/ulmc/research/research_phdapply.html.
You also need to supply a 500 word statement explaining
1. why this studentship would enable you to do a PhD in financial terms - ie, details of why other funding is not available to you; and
2. how your proposed research constitutes a critical rethinking of management, business and organization. Please remember that we are especially keen to receive applications in the areas of organization studies, human resource management, marketing and related fields. You should give equal attention to each aspect of the statement.
Please then send the statement, the application form, your CV, references, transcripts and research proposal (plus proof of language capabilities where relevant) directly to Teresa Bowdrey either by email at [log in to unmask] (by scanning the documents and attaching them) or by post at: PhD Programme, University of Leicester School of Management, Ken Edwards Building, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK. Again please do NOT apply online. All short-listed studentship applicants will be interviewed for suitability.
The deadline for applications for the 2011 studentships is 15 November 2010. Studentship applications will be considered for April 2011 entry ONLY".
