PhD Studentships in Applied Ethics (broadly construed) at the University of
Leeds

The Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Applied Centre for Excellence in Teaching and
Learning (IDEA CETL) at the University of Leeds offers three new PhD
studentships for 2013-2014. For full details see full advert at
www.idea.leeds.ac.uk<http://www.idea.leeds.ac.uk>.

THE IDEA CETL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
The IDEA CETL's vision is to be a world-class centre for excellence in
learning, teaching and research in inter-disciplinary applied ethics. Since its
inception it has developed significant Research and Professional Ethics
Consultancy activity and has a lively programme of research seminars, research
workshops and conferences to which its PGR students are expected to contribute.

STUDENTSHIP INFORMATION
The IDEA CETL intends to offer three Studentships in Applied Ethics, broadly
conceived, to high quality candidates for its full-time or part-time PhD
programme. The studentships are tenable for 3yr (f-t) or 5yr (p-t) from
September/October 2013 and have both tuition and maintenance components: the
tuition component will be equivalent to the full EU PhD fee and the maintenance
component will be equivalent to that of the AHRC Doctoral award.

The Centre has particular research strengths (see full advert at
www.idea.leeds.ac.uk<http://www.idea.leeds.ac.uk>). But candidates with
interests in any area of applied ethics, broadly construed, are warmly
encouraged to apply. The IDEA CETL currently teaches in a wide range of areas.
We would expect the PGR's research to contribute to our expertise in at least
one of these areas.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Candidates for PhD in the IDEA CETL are able to take advantage of a
professional training and development scheme for postgraduates. The Centre will
require successful applicants to undertake teaching for the Centre, paid at an
hourly rate in addition to the scholarship stipend. The normal expectation will
be in the region of 40 hours teaching a year, but up to 80 hours a year may be
available. Studentship holders will be also expected to take a full role in the
life of the Centre. IDEA CETL offers its PhD students financial support for
conference attendance.

Closing date for receipt of applications for the studentships is Wednesday 3rd
April 2013. Interviews are likely to be held in the week beginning May 13th.
