GRADUATE TEACHING SCHOLARSHIPS


The Department of Politics University of Glasgow (rated 5 in the last 3 RAEs) will offer ONE Graduate Teaching Scholarship commencing in September 2006.

Value
Home/EU fee waiver (c£3500) plus £2000 contribution to maintenance, for three years. The scholarship is open to non UK/EU students but there will be a fee short-fall, which may be met via other funds such as ORS (see below).

Eligibility
a] Candidates must first have been accepted by the Department to do a Ph.D, that is, they must have been judged to possess [i] the requisite standard of qualifications [ii] a doctoral research topic that falls within the capacious remit of the Department to supervise (including EU politics and policy). In their application* to undertake research they should indicate their desire to be considered for one of the scholarships.
b] Candidates will typically possess a Masters degree (or equivalent) or be expected to complete one in 2005/6.
c] Candidates will be expected to apply for funded scholarships (such as ESRC, AHRC, ORS and including those offered by the Faculty of Law, Business and Social Sciences, University of Glasgow). If successful the candidate must accept such an award.
d] Candidates must, in the judgment of the Department, be able satisfactorily to offer seminar teaching, primarily at pre-honours (years 1 & 2) level.
e] The closing date for applications is 1 May 2006 (later applications may be considered and placed on a 'reserve').

Terms & Conditions
a] Scholars will undertake teaching allocated up to but not exceeding 6 hours a week, averaged across the academic year.
b] The award of the scholarship in years 2 and 3 is dependent on a positive report of the annual progress review.
c] Termination of studies will result in termination of the scholarship.
d] Suspension of studies will normally lead to suspension of payments.
_______________________________
* We normally ask before formal application that intending applicants write a c.1000 word proposal that (inter alia) states the main contention of the research and why it is thought important; indicates how the topic will be researched (the appropriate methodology etc); identifies the type and availability of sources (and any attendant difficulties) and places briefly the topic in the existing literature. This proposal should be sent in the first instance to the Director of Graduate Studies (Professor Chris Berry c.j.berry@socsci.gla.ac.uk  until January thereafter Professor Chris Thornhill c.thornhill@socsci.gla.ac.uk )
