The BWPI is pleased to offer a suite of postgraduate fellowships and scholarships to support PhD programmes starting in the academic year 2007/08. These have individual conditions and criteria (see below for details) but in general the research to be undertaken can focus on any aspect of poverty analysis that has both academic and policy relevance. Candidates with disciplinary backgrounds in any relevant social science subject area are encouraged to apply (anthropology, development studies, economics, geography, planning, politics, sociology).
Ideally, research topics should relate to the BWPI's evolving research plan. To be considered for these scholarships, candidates will need to apply to study for a PhD via the normal University process, see http://www.manchest er.ac.uk/ postgraduate/ howtoapply/
Your PhD application can be submitted either on-line (this is the University's preferred method) via the above web-page or in hard copy. PhD applicants are normally required to have undertaken postgraduate level study, usually to Masters level. The closing date for applications is 31st January 2007.
