Postgraduate Research Funding
School of Computer Science, The University of Manchester
New 18 PhD studentships available click here.
Funded Project Studentships
From time to time the School has fully funded project studentships that are attached to a specific research project taking place in one of our research groups. Information about current opportunities is available here.
Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards
The DHPA are highly prestigious, and successful candidates will be considered to have outstanding research potential and will hold the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree as a minimum. The award covers full international student tuition fees plus DHPA scholars should receive at least the minimum Research Council PhD stipend. For the academic year 2009/10 stipend is £13,290.
Alumni Fund Scholarships
The AFS are primarily for current final-year undergraduate students at Manchester who are considering staying on for PhD study at the University, but the award is also open to those who have graduated from the University within the last four years. This award can be in the form of a minimum partial award of £8,000 or a full award of £16,000 per annum.

Available to All Students
The School of Computer Science supports postgraduate research study through the provision of a number of School scholarships. These include:
• Atlas Scholarships
• Project studentships
• School Scholarships
• Demonstrator opportunities
• Teaching Assistantship
• Demonstrator opportunities: If you are self-funded or externally-funded, there are opportunities to undertake paid laboratory demonstrator duties.
• Teaching Assistantships: Teaching assistantships are full-time studentships funded by the school in return for some part-time work. Teaching assistants have a scholarship equivalent to the ESPRC scholarship, plus an honorarium for the work they do. Teaching Assistants work part time in term-time, aiding staff in various teaching-related duties. These duties might include supervising laboratories, preparing and marking course work and taking tutorials and examples classes. There may possibly be an opportunity to give a small number of lectures on courses where the material matches your personal expertise. The work should occupy approximately one full day per week. This enables you to be registered for a full time MPhil/PhD.
Conditions of Work
The work as a teaching assistant should occupy a total of about 180 hours plus some preparation time throughout the year, or approximately one full day a week. The TA will be registered for full-time MPhil or PhD. The precise duties are at the discretion of the Director of the Undergraduate School of the School of Computer Science.
Amount of Award
The current amount of the award is living expenses paid at the current EPSRC national minimum rate plus an honorarium (currently £1,575 per annum) in recognition of Teaching Assistant duties. In addition, the School will pay your University fees (at the current home student rate). Teaching Assistantship is a scholarship, not a job. As such, there is no requirement to pay income tax or National Insurance contributions on this award.

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Semantics
Faculty of Philosophy & Faculty of Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SEMANTICS
Grade 7, £28,839 - £35,469 per annum
Fixed-term for two years from 1 October 2009
A fixed-term research and teaching appointment in Semantics is available from 1 October 2009 for two years. Candidates with a background in either philosophy or linguistics will both be considered, though a strength in semantics is required.
This initiative is designed to provide an intensive and supported career development opportunity for an outstanding academic at an early stage of his or her career, and to promote equality of opportunity by helping to create a more diverse pool of potential candidates for future academic posts at Oxford or elsewhere. Applications for this post are especially welcome from women and ethnic minorities, who are under-represented among the University’s academic staff (section 38 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and section 48 of the Race Relations Act 1976 apply).
This Fellowship is offered jointly by the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics. The successful candidate must have obtained his or her doctorate by 1 October 2009, and should not normally have completed it earlier than 1 October 2005. He or she will have a proven track record of research in the area of Semantics, and will demonstrate potential for producing outstanding research in this area within the period of the Fellowship.
Postdoctoral Fellows are offered the opportunity to develop their expertise in both research and teaching. They will also have an academic mentor as well as a personalised career and professional development package, including the opportunity to undertake the University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Learning and Teaching.
Further particulars, including details of how to apply, can be obtained here (PDF) and http://www.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk.
The deadline for receipt of applications and references is Friday 6 March 2009.
The University of Oxford is an equal opportunities employer.
