Collaborative Excellence in International Research

As part of an innovative collaboration, the three major research-led universities in Yorkshire are offering three-year Research Studentships for students beginning full-time PhD programmes in 2008/09. Each student project will be supervised by two members of academic staff, one each from two of the partner universities. Students will register at one university but will have access to the research facilities of the partner institution and will be part of one of the four research networks which span all three universities. The studentships provide Home/EU tuition fees, an annual maintenance grant of £12,900 and a contribution towards research expenses.

The closing date for all applications is 29 February 2008.
