BSPS Doctoral Scholarship in Philosophy of Science
The society announces that it will be offering a scholarship for doctoral work in philosophy of science in a UK university (subject to a suitable candidate coming forward). The level of the award will be the same as that of AHRC funding and will cover fees and maintenance for three years. The BSPS award will not be awarded to anyone with another source of funding, but applicants will normally be expected to have applied for AHRC funding where eligible, and the BSPS scholarship will only be awarded when the AHRC has informed candidates of its decisions. The closing date for applications is 1st August 2008. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that complete applications, including references, arrive by the deadline.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, an outline of the proposed research (or a copy of an AHRC application), evidence of an application to the AHRC or a statement explaining lack of eligibility, a statement testifying that they have no other source of funding, and evidence that they have been accepted onto an appropriate Ph.D. programme to the address below. They should also ask two academic referees to write directly to:
