University of Sheffield

Collaborative Excellence in International Research

As part of an innovative collaboration, the three major research-led
universities in Yorkshire are offering three-year Research
Studentships for students beginning full-time PhD programmes in
2007/08. Each student project will be supervised by two members of
academic staff, one each from two of the partner universities.
Students will register at one university but will have access to the
research facilities of the partner institution and will be part of one
of the four research networks which span all three universities. The
studentships provide Home/EU tuition fees, an annual maintenance grant
of £12,600 and a contribution towards research expenses.

The closing date for all applications is 16 March 2007
