ESRC WHITE ROSE DTC NETWORK STUDENTSHIPS 2012/13

Collaborative Excellence in International Research

ESRC WR DTC Network Studentships Available at the University of Leeds

ESRC White Rose DTC Network Studentships promote collaboration across Yorkshire’s leading research universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York. Each university is offering 4 ESRC WR DTC Network Studentships in Session 2012/13. 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 academic fees (£3,732 in Session 2011/12) together with a maintenance grant (£13,590 in Session 2011/12) and a contribution towards research expenses.
