Postdoctoral grant: Analysis studentship in philosophy, United Kingdom, Deadline: 27 Apr 2015

ANALYSIS Studentship 2015-16

The Analysis Committee proposes to award at least one and up to three
studentships equal to the full-time maintenance grant for an Arts and
Humanities Research Council postgraduate studentship for the year 2015?2016.
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.
The funds are solely for maintenance and support of research, and not
institutional overheads.

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 and no more than 5
years of full-time research, or the part-time equivalent. Candidates may
make a case for circumstances that exempt them from these eligibility
criteria. The research should be on a subject which falls under the
traditional concerns of Analysis. It is envisaged that the successful
candidate will have recently completed a PhD 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: 27 April 2015. 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 will make a recommendation to the
Analysis Trust committee at the June AGM. The Secretary of the Analysis
Committee will communicate the result of the competition to successful
applicants by the end of June.
