Subject: [AE] BSA PhD Studentship Award 2013
BRITISH SOCIETY OF AESTHETICS PHD STUDENTSHIP AWARD
The British Society of Aesthetics proposes to award one PhD studentship
full-time
maintenance grant of B#13,590 (or within the City of London or the
Metropolitan Police
district: B#15,590) plus tuition fees up to a maximum value of B#4,200
from September
2013 for up to 3 years.
The studentship is designed to support a promising philosopher in
aesthetics and the
philosophy of art, by enabling him or her to pursue full time doctoral
research.
Candidates for the studentship should already be accepted on to a Ph.D.
programme
at a British university at the time of application, to research on a
subject that
falls within the remit of the British Society of Aesthetics. It is a
condition of
application to the BSA, and should be confirmed in the covering email,
that:
(a) candidates are eligible to apply to the AHRC's PhD studentship
scheme,
(b) they have done so if a studentship is available, and
(c) they have applied to any other funding schemes available at the
relevant institution.
If any such applications are successful, the amount of the BSA
scholarship, if awarded,
will be reduced by the amount of the other award(s).
The successful candidate will be expected to complete a PhD, or be very
close to completion,
by the end of the award period, and to provide brief progress reports
to the Society
at the end of each year.
