Studentships

The Faculty of Education at Cambridge is a leading international centre for research, with particular strengths in: school development, leadership and improvement; education in languages, arts and humanities; inequalities in education; psychology and neuroscience; history of education; language and literacy; teacher development at primary and secondary levels; educational uses of ICT; and maths and science education.

Studentships are available for candidates whose research interests are in these main areas of activitity. A research studentship at Cambridge will allow you to work closely with international experts in their field and be part of an active and fast-developing research comminity.

In 2008-9 we will have 4 studentships available; 3 funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and 1 by the Faculty. The studentships are for 3-4 years and cover fees and a subsistence grant. To be eligible you need to be a citizen of the EU and have at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree or equivalent in a relevant subject.

If you would like to be sent further information about these studentships and about how to apply for one for October 2009 please email Emma Rixon er206@cam.ac.uk .
