The Arch Research Centre is offering two three-year PhD studentships for

doctoral research within the scope of the Foundations of Logical 
Consequence Research Project.  These studentships provide full coverage of
 
tuition fees for EU students.  They provide, in addition, a yearly 
maintenance grant of up to 12500 for students from within the UK.  These
 
studentships are not open to applicants from outside the EU. Applicants 
must apply for admission to the St Andrews Philosophy Graduate Programme 
through the Postgraduate Admissions Office by 30 September 2008.  For 
instructions on how to apply see

Please indicate in your application that you wish to be considered for 
these studentships in Arch. In addition to meeting all of the standard
 
University requirements for new PhD applicants, it may be advantageous for
 
you to include with your application a longer writing sample (up to 6000 
words) and short statement of your research interests detailing how your 
proposed research will contribute to the overall aims of the Foundations 
of Logical Consequence project.  As Arch is a collaborative research 
centre, a willingness and enthusiasm to work within a team ethos is 
essential.
