PhD Fellowships
The Seafarers
International Research Centre at Cardiff University, with support from
The Nippon Foundation, would like to invite applications for a number of
four-year scholarships offering exciting opportunities to study for PhD
qualifications in maritime-related social science.
Based in the UK, these
unique fellowships are available to graduates of maritime or social
science-related disciplines who have a strong desire to undertake
academic research on seafarers and the human related aspects of the
maritime sector.
Cardiff University School
of Social Sciences is one of the leading centres of social science
research in the UK and the Seafarers International Research Centre is
internationally recognised for its work on seafarers and
seafarer-related issues.
Successful candidates
will study on a one-year (ESRC recognised) Social Science Research
Methods programme before proceeding to their dissertation. They will
have their course fees paid and will receive a generous living/travel
allowance.
Applications are welcomed
from residents of any country but are particularly encouraged from
those living in developing regions, as well as in Asia and Japan.
Applicants are expected to hold the equivalent of a good honours degree (usually a 1st or 2.1) in a social science or maritime-related discipline.
In addition, all
applicants for whom English is a second language will be required to
possess a certificate from JELTS with a minimum score of 7 or a TOEFL®
certificate with a minimum score of 600.
