With apologies for cross-posting ... Please note that, following similar competitions during previous academic sessions, the University of Leicester School of Management, now incorporating the Centre for Labour Market Studies, is delighted to be able to offer six new PhD Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAships), worth approximately £18, 830 per year over four years. The studentships are for full-time study only and will commence in September 2012. They will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only and include a stipend of something of the order of £9630 each year as well as a salary of £3960. Successful applicants are also entitled to a Research Training Support Grant of £750 per annum to finance their research activities as appropriate. 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. Applicants will also need to specify on the University postgraduate application form that they are applying for a GTAship in Management. Please visit http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/management/postgraduate/research/research-degrees-phd-and-mphil for further details. We welcome GTAship applications from those interested in the critical rethinking of either global work, organizations, employment, business, management, labour markets and the labour process, training and development and/ or industrial relations, based in organization studies, or the sociology of work, or marketing, or HRM, or finance, or related fields. The entry requirements for these GTAships 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 16th March 2012. GTAship applications will be considered for full-time September 2012 entry ONLY. All applicants should allow a minimum of six weeks for an application to be considered. All short-listed GTAship applicants will be interviewed for suitability, and we expect to be able to hold interviews in May 2012 .
