Dear all, The BPS have launched the October 2016 round of their Postdoctoral Conference Bursary Scheme to support the work of psychology postdoctoral researchers and lecturers. Conference bursaries are available to support UK psychology postdoctoral researchers and lecturers to attend any academic conference, either in the UK or internationally, relevant to the applicant's work. Each bursary consists of up to £150 (UK) or £300 (international) to contribute towards the costs of registration and travel to attend the full conference. There are two rounds of the scheme each year and applications are now open for the 1st October 2016 deadline. For this round applicants must ensure that the conference begins no earlier than 1 November and no later than 31 May. Please note that applicants must be Society members and may only submit one bursary application per round. Note: for the purpose of the bursary scheme, a postdoctoral research/lecturer is defined as a person who is employed at a UK HEI and is within three years of the completion of their doctoral research degree (i.e. PhD or DPhil ) in psychology. Please note that this scheme is for those having completed a research doctoral degree as opposed to a practitioner doctoral degree. Further details, including the full criteria and an application form, can be obtained from Carl Bourton at BPS - [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Please pass details of the scheme to any colleagues in your department who may be interested in applying.
