The
School of Anthropology and Conservation, University of Kent is offering several
University 50th Anniversary scholarships to start in 2015/16. Each Scholarship
will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate plus a maintenance grant (typically
the equivalent of that offered by the Research Councils).
This
is a real opportunity for a bright student wanting to pursue a PhD in animal
behaviour, ecology or conservation (or a combination of these). We now
have three staff with interests in behavioural ecology and primatology: Brandon
Wheeler & Tatyana Humle, and myself - together with other staff with
related interests - and between us we would be able to supervise a broad range
of projects. Anyone who is interested should drop one of us an email to get
the ball rolling.
Full
staff list is here: http://www.kent.ac.uk/sac/staff-profiles/index.html,
while information about the scholarships is here: http://www.kent.ac.uk/sac/scholarships/index.html;
I’ve pasted the eligibility criteria:
"Candidates
must hold a good BA/BSc and a Master's degree at distinction level (or
equivalent) in a relevant subject. Applicants without a MA/MSc must have a
first class honours BA/BSc (or equivalent) and be able to demonstrate
relevant experience that is at least equivalent to Master's level training. The
scholarship competition is open to all postgraduate research applicants
from the UK and EU. Candidates from outside the UK/EU will be considered
providing they can submit evidence that they have secured funds from other
sources to meet the fee differential at the time of application. The School
will NOT be able to meet the fee differential for such students. The
scholarship is competitive, and students wishing to be considered need to have
completed the full application process by the closing
date: 31 January 2015."
