ANALYSIS Studentship 2012-2013

The Analysis Committee proposes to award at least one studentship equal
to the full-time maintenance grant for an Arts and Humanities Research
Board postgraduate studentship for the year 2012–2013. The studentship
is designed to support a promising philosopher who does not have other
means of support (e.g. a temporary or permanent lectureship or a research
fellowship) and to enable him or her to conduct full-time research.
Candidates for the studentship should be pursuing research at a British university,
at the beginning of their academic career, and, at the time of taking
up the award, should have completed at least three years of full-time
research, or the part-time equivalent, on a subject which falls under the
traditional concerns of Analysis. It is envisaged that the successful candidate
will have recently completed a Ph.D. or be very close to completion, and have
a CV which would make him or her a strong contender for a Junior Research
Fellowship or similar appointment.

An application for the studentship should be made by email to Dr Jules
Holroyd, Secretary of the Analysis Committee, (analysistrust.secretary@
oup.com). It should consist of a CV, a statement of proposed research of
not more than 500 words, and an official letter offering facilities in the
department in which the candidate proposes to hold the studentship (this
should at least consist in access to computers, the library and research seminars
in the department). Applicants should also ensure that two references
are sent to the Secretary of the Analysis Committee by the deadline for
applications, 13 April 2012. Short-listed candidates will be invited to
submit some written work of up to 8000 words shortly after this date.
The members of the Studentship Committee responsible for making a recommendation
to the Analysis Committee are Dr R. Keefe, Dr J. Melia and
Dr N. Shackel. The Secretary of the Analysis Committee will communicate
the result of the competition to applicants by the end of July.
