Graduate Teaching Assistantship - September 2012

Please note that, following similar competitions during previous academic sessions, the School of Management, incorporating the Centre for Labour Market Studies, is delighted to be able to offer six new PhD Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAships), worth approximately £18, 830 per year over four years.  The studentships are for full-time study only and will commence in September 2012. They will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate only and include a stipend of £9630 each year as well as a salary of approximately £3960. (This amount would be for the year 2012-2013 – the salary should increase yearly.). Successful applicants are further entitled to a Research Training Support Grant of £750 per annum to finance their research activities as appropriate.

We welcome GTAship applications from those interested in the critical rethinking of either global work, organizations, employment, business, management, labour markets and the labour process, training and development and/ or industrial relations, based in  organization studies, or the sociology of work, or marketing, or HRM, or finance, or related fields.

Suitable applications are encouraged from both UK/EU students and from international students (outside the EU). However, please note that the awards cover the UK/EU tuition fee rate only: international students will need to pay the difference between this and the international tuition fee rate themselves. Applicants will also need to specify on the University postgraduate application form that they are applying for a GTAship in Management.

The entry requirements for these GTAships are identical to those for any other entrant on to the School’s PhD programme, but the process requires an additional personal statement. The closing date is 16th March 2012.
