Overview
The Business School has a vibrant postgraduate research community where there are currently over 140 students enrolled on its Doctoral programmes. It has excellent research ratings with 94 per cent of its research classified as being of international quality (RAE 2008). As part of its ongoing development of postgraduate research, the Business School is offering up to 7 fully-funded studentships for October 2010 start. Priority will be given to applicants with research proposals that align with Business School priorities as well as the University of Exeter Research Beacons and Key Themes.
We are keen to attract students with strong experience of independent research and knowledge of research methods, techniques and approaches at Masters level. As with all Doctoral students in the Business School, further training opportunities are available based on training needs assessment at the start of your studies.
Applications will be welcome from across the field of leadership studies and in particular, from students seeking to research issues of leadership and sustainability (especially sense-making and identity-related approaches); leading complex organizations, partnerships and alliances; leadership development and organizational performance; well-being (of leaders, and the contribution of leadership to well-being); and spirituality as a factor in leadership in contemporary organizations and communities.
Criteria
You should have an appropriate first degree in any social science discipline of class 2:1 or above and ideally, also a Master’s degree in a subject of relevance to the research proposal. We will also give consideration to relevant experience where appropriate.
Preference will be given to applicants who have received ESRC accredited training at Master’s level. If English is not your first language, a language test certificate is required with the following minimum requirements for this studentship: IELTS 7.0. Personal qualities should also include the ability to work independently and high degree of motivation necessary to complete a PhD in three years.
Value of this studentship
All fees paid for three years plus an annual Research Council-equivalent maintenance grant for three years. In 2009/10 this was £13,290 per year; the 20010/11 grant will be announced later in the year.
How to Apply
In order to apply you will need to complete an online web form (opens in new window) where you must submit some personal details and upload a full CV, covering letter, details of 2 academic referees and a research proposal.
Your covering letter should detail your reasons for applying and why you are the ideal person to fill the post and to submit your thesis within three years. Click for further information on how to develop a high standard of research proposal
