The inter-disciplinary ethics applied centre for excellence in teaching and learning (idea cetl) at the university of leeds offers a new phd studentship for 2013-2014. (for full details see full advert at www.idea.leeds.ac.uk)
The idea CETL at the University of Leeds
The idea CETL's vision is to be a world-class centre for excellence in learning, teaching and research in inter-disciplinary applied ethics. Since its inception it has developed significant research and professional ethics consultancy activity and has a lively programme of research seminars, research workshops and conferences to which its pgr students are expected to contribute.
Studentship Information
The idea CETL intends to offer a studentship in applied ethics, broadly conceived, to high quality candidates for its full-time or part-time phd programme. The studentship is tenable for 3yr (f-t) or 5yr (p-t) from september/october 2013 and has both tuition and maintenance components: the tuition component will be equivalent to the full eu phd fee1 and the maintenance component will be equivalent to that of the ahrc doctoral award.
The centre has particular research strengths (see full advert at www.idea.leeds.ac.uk) but candidates with interests in any area of applied ethics, broadly construed, are warmly encouraged to apply. The idea cetl currently teaches in a wide range of areas. We would expect the pgrâs research to contribute to our expertise in at least one of these areas.
Additional Information
Candidates for phd in the idea cetl are able to take advantage of a professional training and development scheme for postgraduates.
The centre will require the successful applicant to undertake teaching for the centre, paid at an hourly rate in addition to the scholarship stipend. The normal expectation will be in the region of 40 hours teaching a year, but up to 80 hours a year may be available. The studentship holder will be also expected to take a full role in the life of the centre.
Idea CETL offers its phd students financial support for conference attendance.
