Graduate Teaching Assistantship September 2013
Following similar competitions during previous academic sessions, the School of Management is delighted to be able to offer one new PhD Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTAship), worth approximately £18,600 per year over four years. These GTAships are for full-time study only and will commence in September 2013. They will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only (currently £3,900) and include a stipend of £9,956 each year as well as a salary of £3,994. The successful applicants are, further, entitled to a Research Training Support Grant of £750 per annum to finance their research activities as appropriate.
We welcome GTAship applications from those interested in the critical rethinking of any of the following fields: organizations and organising; business and management; global work and employment; industrial relations and trade unionism; labour markets and the labour process; training and development; marketing and consumption; finance and accounting; and management of science, technology and knowledge. Our PhD programme is distinctive because it is firmly located within a broadly defined critical social science tradition. Our students draw on any of the different fields of management as well as on anthropology, cultural studies, economics, sociology, politics, philosophy and psychology amongst other disciplines in undertaking their research.
Suitable applications are encouraged from both UK/EU students and from international students (outside the EU). However, please note that the award covers the UK/EU tuition fee rate only: an international student would need to pay the difference between this and the international tuition fee rate themselves. Further, applicants need to specify on the University postgraduate application form that they are applying for a GTAship in Management.
Please see document entitled “Further Guidance” for more information about GTAship applications and the process we will use to allocate them. The entry requirements for this GTAship are identical to those for any other entrant on to the School’s PhD programme, but the process requires an additional personal statement. The closing date is 28th June 2013.
How to Apply for the September 2013 Graduate Teaching Assistantship
All applicants for the GTAships must submit a completed postgraduate application form<http://www2.le.ac.uk/study/research/application-form.pdf>, a CV, a PhD research proposal of no more than 4000 words (see PhD proposal guidance notes on our website<http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/management/documents/postgraduate-study/research-degrees/School%20of%20Management%20Research%20Proposal%20Guidance%20Notes.pdf>), 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 institutional email account. Your application form should specify in the department box on the first page that you are applying for a GTAship in Management. You should also enter this information in the Financial Support section of the application form. An application form can be found at http://www2.le.ac.uk/study/research/application-form.pdf
You also need to supply a 750 word statement explaining:
1. Why a GTAship would enable you to do a PhD in financial terms - i.e. details of why other funding is not available to you;
2. How it will contribute to your professional academic development – i.e. the ways in which you expect to benefit from the teacher training and the seminar teaching, assessment and supervision duties which being a GTA entails; and
3. How your proposed research constitutes a critical rethinking of the field of your study (as part of management and organization studies).
You should give equal attention to each aspect of the statement.
Applicants who do not supply the statement, or whose statement does not conform to the expectations outlined above, will not be considered for shortlisting.
It is also essential that you read the Further Guidance on the GTAship award when preparing your application.
All short-listed GTAship applicants will be interviewed for suitability.
