Postgraduate Research Scholarship in the History or Philosophy of Science
and Technology
The Darwin Trust invites applications for a postgraduate research
scholarship tenable at any UK University from graduates, of any
nationality, who wish to study for a PhD in the history or philosophy of
science and technology. The scholarship will provide a maintenance grant of
£10,000 per annum for up to three years, a travel grant where appropriate,
and the necessary University fees. Candidates, who should not normally be
more than 30 years of age, should hold, or be expected to obtain, academic
qualifications equivalent to a First Class Honours degree from a British
University and must have an application confirmed or pending for a
postgraduate position within an appropriate University Department.
Applicants from overseas should hold a certificate of proficiency in the
English language (TOEFL 550, EPTB 40.0 or IELTS 6.0). Preference will be
given to candidates who propose moving to a University, or at least a
department, different from that in which they will have graduated.
Applications should be lodged by 30th April 2006 with Professor K Murray,
Institute of Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Edinburgh, Darwin
Building, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, Scotland, UK, from whom
application forms may be obtained.
