Trinity College Dublin
Organisational Learning in Irish Aid Organisations
One PhD Studentship
The Centre for Global Heath uses social science to strengthen health systems.
The Centre for Global Health is pleased to announce a PhD studentship
funded by the Irish Research Council for Humanities & Social Sciences
(IRCHSS), for a project on Organisational Learning in Irish Aid
Organisations. The project will involve exploring and implementing
factors that contribute to organisational learning by working closely
with specific aid organisations, and in particular focusing on their
health related activities.
The project will be overseen by a panel incorporating representatives
of aid organisations, and by four academics with expertise in health
policy and management, economics, ICT and psychology, each of whom has
previous related experience. The person taking up this studentship
will join three other people currently working towards a PhD in the
same area. The successful candidate, who will have their own primary
and secondary supervisors, along with support from other members of
the LEARN team, will also have access to structured training on
research methods, and to specific organisational and global health
modules, provided through the Masters in Global Health.
Candidates with an interest or background in international development
or relief work, who have a degree in a social science or other
relevant discipline, or ICT, and who wish to develop expertise in
organisational aspects of international aid are encouraged to apply.
The studentship is immediately available at standard IRCHSS
studentship rates. Informal enquiries, in the first instance, should
be made to:
Dr Lucy Hederman, School of Computer Science and Statistics
(Lucy.Hederman@cs.tcd.ie, +353 1608 2245) or Professor Malcolm
MacLachlan, School of Psychology (malcolm.maclachlan@tcd.ie, +3531608
