Dear All,

The Brilliant Club are currently recruiting University of Strathclyde 
PhD students for this coming Autumn. We would be grateful if you could 
promote the below and attached details to staff across your 
Faculties/Departments and on to their students.

*Brilliant Club recruiting PhD students*

The University of Strathclyde has been collaborating with the Brilliant 
Club for a number of years, working in schools in and around Glasgow as 
part of our commitment to widening access.

The Brilliant Club

charity that works alongside 38 partner universities, over 700 
non-selective state schools across the UK. They aim to support fair 
access to Higher Education, by mobilising the PhD community to share its 
academic expertise and experience of university with pupils from low 
participation backgrounds. At the same time, they want to offer 
researchers a meaningful, enjoyable and developmental opportunity which 
they are suitably remunerated for.

 

Through The Scholars Programme, they recruit and train PhD and ECR 
researchers, and then place them in one of our partner schools 
to deliver a programme of university-style tutorials. Both the Brilliant 
Club and Strathclyde believe it's of huge importance and mutual benefit, 
for bright pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to get to study with 
world experts in their fields. Through the programme researchers benefit 
from:

 

· Teaching and module design experience

· Pedagogical training

· Opportunities for public engagement and dissemination of research

· Development of employability skills

· Opportunity to join a nationwide community of researchers making a 
significant impact on access to HE

· Remuneration (£500 per placement + travel expenses)

 

To date, they have placed over 1,700 researchers across the UK. 

We are currently recruiting PhD students for the Autumn term and would 
be grateful if this opportunity could be promoted. For further details, 
please contact Dr Stephanie Mckendry (Head of Access, Equality and 
Inclusion) stephanie.mckendry at strath.ac.uk
