University of Edinburgh
Two PhD Studentships
International Public Health Policy
The Centre for International Public Health Policy at the University of Edinburgh is offering two fully funded PhD studentships, covering fees (either UK/EU or international) and an annual stipend (for current academic year of £12,940), to commence in September 2009.
The successful candidates will have demonstrable skills in research and an understanding of issues in global health policy. They will have a postgraduate qualification in a relevant subject, or equivalent research experience. It is anticipated that students will be offered funding for three years for MPhil and subsequent progression to PhD.
Opportunities will exist for students to contribute to teaching and to the development of teaching materials, especially for e-distance learning.
We welcome proposals from outstanding candidates for research projects into any area of international public health policy that fits with CIPHP’s research portfolio.
If you wish to apply, you should make a formal application to the University of Edinburgh’s PhD programme in international public health policy at http://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/postgraduate/finder/details.php?id=398
