Abstract

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 2011–2012. 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 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.
