Professor Andy Furlong PhD Scholarship
The College of Social Sciences is offering a PhD scholarship to honour the work of Professor Andy Furlong. The Professor Andy Furlong scholarship will comprise a 100% tuition fee waiver and stipend at the full RCUK rate for three years, and will be awarded in a field of research related to and reflecting the many and path-breaking contributions made by Professor Furlong to understanding the impact of social inequalities, with a particular focus on young people and labour markets. The College welcomes applications that seek to address this broad field, and that come from a range of disciplinary perspectives. Proposals should be submitted by academic members of staff at the University of Glasgow, but there are no geographical restrictions on the nationality or domicile of the scholarship holder, so prospective students who wish to apply for this scholarship should, in the first instance, make contact with academics at Glasgow.
Applicants should complete the Professor Andy Furlong Scholarship Project Proposal Application form, attach CVs of both the primary supervisor and the prospective student, and submit to the College Graduate School by 10 June 2018.
