ESRC STUDENTSHIPS FOR MRes+PhD/PhD: UCL Centre for Human Communication
The UCL Centre for Human Communication is pleased to announce that it
has been awarded two quota ESRC studentships for the academic year
commencing September 2009 and is additionally able to nominate
applications for an ESRC open competition studentship.
ESRC studentships provide up to four years full funding for
postgraduate training. They cover tuition fees and include a
maintenance grant.
The CHC will consider applicants for 1+3 quota and open studentships
for the MRes in Speech, Language and Cognition followed by PhD research
within the CHC group. We will also consider applicants who have
completed relevant Masters-level training for a 3 year PhD studentship
within the CHC. The CHC is a virtual centre that exists to foster
interaction amongst UCL staff who are involved in research on human
language and communication. Research includes, but is not limited to,
acquisition, the neurobiology of communication, pathology, perception,
production, rehabilitation, pragmatics, technology innovations, theory
construction and modelling. Further information about the Centre and
participating departments can be found at
http://www.chc.ucl.ac.uk/programmes/courses.html and
http://www.langsci.ucl.ac.uk/
Applicants should send a CV, covering letter and the names and email
addresses of two referees to Bronwen Evans at bronwen.evans@ucl.ac.uk.
The covering letter should include an outline of the applicant's
principal research interests. Applications for the 3 year PhD
studentships only must also outline a plan of the intended research.
Ideally, this plan should have been discussed with a potential
supervisor based at UCL. Staff details can be found at
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/psychlangsci/staff/academicstaff.
All applications are subject to nationality and residency restrictions
and applicants are also asked to indicate in their submission that they
meet the ESRC's nationality and residency requirements. These
requirements and other information are available in the ESRC's Guidance
Notes for Applicants, which applicants are strongly advised to consult
when completing their application.
Deadline: Friday 30th January 2009. Applications received after this
date will still be considered for admission but will be too late to be
considered for the ESRC quota studentship.
