Deadline- 2 April 2013
Applications are invited for Leverhulme Centre for Integrative Research on Agriculture and Health (LCIRAH) Project studentship offered by Centre for Development Environment and Policy (CeDEP) at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). The aim of this scholarship is to build an inter sectoral and interdisciplinary platform for integrating research in agriculture and health, with a focus on international development goals.
The studentship will cover fieldwork costs (10K for the duration of the studentship), student stipend at the Research Council UK Doctoral (London) rate (for 2012-13, this was £15,590), and UK/EU tuition fees. Applicants paying fees at the overseas rate will be required to meet the additional cost of overseas fees.
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Applicants must normally possess or be expected to possess a good UK Master’s degree (or a qualification deemed equivalent by the School) in a relevant discipline. This will be an inter-sectoral project, and we are looking for students with a good grounding in applied economics and relevant skills or interests in nutrition and/or agriculture, who would enjoy and be comfortable with learning and using skills across different sectors in a multi-disciplinary, multi-sectoral research group.
- Applications from outside the EU/UK will be considered.
