[Academic] Student Excellence Award (SEA) PhD studentships - early submission deadline 9th Dec

[Gordon Robb]

Applications for SEA studentships (i.e. those based on a named student) 
can now be submitted via pgrapps.strath.ac.uk. The final deadline for 
applications is 10th March 2021, but there is an early deadline for 
approval of early applications of *9th Dec 2020*.

These are funded mainly by EPSRC and cover home fees and stipend for 42 
months.

Please let me know if you have a candidate in mind for these 
studentships. Candidates should make PhD applications via pgr.strath.ac.uk .

What will be required for each SEA studentship application :
- student CV
- two references
- transcripts for undergraduate/Masters degrees
- £4K p.a. supervisor contribution to studentship. The recommended 
breakdown of contributions (University/faculty/supervisor) for a 3.5 
year EPSRC studentship is

EPSRC SEA (fees & stipend) : £40031
Faculty (stipend) : £17137
Supervisor (stipend) : £14000

This will be reviewed and may be adjusted after the early submission 
deadline.

Applications should be submitted via the PGRapps system 
(pgrapps.strath.ac.uk - see the "guidance" tab for additional 
information). You can start and save draft submissions anytime.

A change from previous years is that all UKRI-funded studentship 
applications now undergo a new Equality, Diversity & Inclusion 
monitoring procedure (details attached). The action on supervisors is to 
inform the  departmental contact (Audrey) of the names and email 
addresses of all applicants for the studentship, which applicants were 
selected for interview, and who was the applicant selected. Studentship 
funds will not be released by the PGR funding office if this is not done.

If you've any questions, please get in touch.

Thanks

Gordon
