University of Leicester School of Management
Graduate Teaching Assistantships - September 2013

Following similar competitions during previous academic sessions, the School of Management is delighted to be able to offer four new PhD Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAships), worth approximately £18,600 per year over four years. These studentships are for full-time study only and will commence in September 2013. They will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only and include a stipend of £9,959 each year as well as a salary of £3,971. 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 Graduate Teaching Assistantship 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. The proposal can be based in organization studies; marketing; the sociology of work and HRM; finance and accounting; political economy; management of science, technology and knowledge; or related fields.

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. 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 15th February 2013.

GTAship applications will be considered for September 2013 entry ONLY. We cannot consider late applications. All applicants should allow a minimum of four weeks for an application to be considered; and we expect to interview for these awards in March 2013.
