Call now open for SMMI studentship funding 2016/17

The call for SMMI Studentship funding for 2016/17 is now open and applications are being invited from SMMI members to apply for this funding opportunity. Completed application forms should be received by 17:00 on 1 December 2015.

SMMI has an annual allocation of funds to support cross-disciplinary PhD research students, ideally spanning supervision in at least two faculties. These studentships are offered competitively across campus and are open to SMMI Members whose proposed project centres on interdisciplinary research. The candidate needs to have a degree with at least a Class 2(i) and be excellent as deemed by the selectors in the Faculty where the student will primarily be based. The SMMI studentships are available to UK, EU or international students and provide funding up to £10k per year for three years, with the supervisors and their faculties finding the rest of the required funding. PhD students should be recruited through open competition using the accepted processes of the host faculty or academic unit. It is anticipated that the SMMI will support up to 6 studentships per year.
