[Academic] FW: JARA studentship applications: Faculty deadline 23 June

[Neil Hunt]

Dear All,
Please see below the announcement, details and application deadline for the JARA studentship scheme. This is another opportunity for us to fund PhD studentships so if you have any applications from good quality students then I would encourage you to consider an application. Please note that the funding profile for the JARA scheme is different to that for the REA and SEA studentships, details below.
I would greatly appreciate it if interested parties could discuss applications with me prior to submission.
Best wishes,
Neil


====================================

Dear Colleagues,
The deadline for applications for the John Anderson Research Awards (JARA) is fast approaching. Details of the scheme can be found on the help page of the PGR system http://pgrapps.strath.ac.uk<http://pgrapps.strath.ac.uk/> and I copy below the summary for JARA.  The Faculty needs to check applications and provide a ranking list and/or comments to the centre, in advance of the institutional deadline on 30th June.
To allow this please note a submission  deadline of 23rd June for the Science Faculty. Please submit all applications via the PGRApps systems and ensure that all the required documents are supplied (including academic transcripts, two references, candidate CV) as well as comments from the HoD/HoI or their nominee.
Regards,
Rob
