External Examiner Wanted!
We are looking for a new external examiner to support the Sociology syllabus of our BA (Hons) in Social Science at Glasgow Caledonian University. We have two externals but are seeking to replace only one.
A little bit of background: our degree is multi-disciplinary but enables students to follow discipline-based pathways. What they graduate with reflects the choices they have made in years 3 and 4.
In level 1, students have to study 6 disciplines. Our department comprises Sociologists, Criminologists, Social Policy specialists, political scientists and Historians. Students can also take modules from Economics, Psychology or choose a language. As they progress through the degree, they can start tailoring to suit their interests, and thus they begin to drop a discipline or two from Year 2.
Sociology is the largest subject area in the department - traditionally we have also undertaken 'service teaching' to health, social care and business related degrees. This explains why we need two externals.
If you are interested in this position, please email me at the following address [log in to unmask] before Friday 9th January 2015.

Subject: PhD studentship opportunity on older women in sport
Hello
Could you post the announcement below on the mailing list.
Thanks
Emmanuelle
We welcome applications for a fully funded PhD studentship at Glasgow Caledonian University entitled Ageing in sport: Challenging women's invisibility<http://www.gcu.ac.uk/media/gcalwebv2/research/phdopportunities/gsbs2014/GSBSPhDproposal_Olderwomeninsport_FS_ET_Oct14.docx>
The deadline for applications is 19th December, with interviews to take place early in the new year and the studentship starting soon after.
The project would be designed to chart the history and explore the place of current cohorts of older women in sport, either as practitioners or as spectators, throughout the life course and in the present. The research would provide some context to account for the invisibility of older women in sport and is part of a wider concern with physical activity and prolonged sitting in later life.
The project will be supervised by Dr Fiona Skillen and Dr Emmanuelle Tulle, both members of the Sport and Identities research cluster in the Glasgow School for Business and Society. We are looking for candidates with a background in the social sciences and/or the Humanities, or if from any other discipline with a commitment to approaching issues of gender, sport and physical activity critically.
It is anticipated that the research will be qualitative and training in qualitative methodology and research methods will be available.
More details about the intellectual context of and scientific rationale for the project as well as the terms of the studentship are available here: http://www.gcu.ac.uk/research/phdresearchopportunities/. To access the rationale for the studentship please click on the Sport and Identities link and/or contact Dr Fiona Skillen http://www.gcu.ac.uk/gsbs/staff/drfionaskillen/ [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or Dr Emmanuelle Tulle http://researchonline.gcu.ac.uk/portal/en/persons/emmanuelle-tulle(156834db-35fc-4507-9904-41c60af49f45).html [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> directly.
