The Kuwait Programme on Development, Governance and Globalisation in the Gulf States at the London School of Economics and Political Science is pleased to announce two scholarships for full-time PhD students of £12,500 each per annum, renewable for up to three years. This scholarship, which will be available for an Autumn 2011 start, will be awarded on academic merit. You should have a Master's degree in a political or social science related discipline. You should also have demonstrated research interests in issues of political economy or political science or international relations and a regional focus on the Gulf States. Those with a knowledge of Arabic will have an advantage.
The successful candidates will be those who can contribute to the Kuwait Programme's own research objectives. The selection panel are seeking to support young and very capable researchers who will benefit from the support the Kuwait Programme can offer in developing their proposal into a significant work of research.
You should submit a CV and research proposal of no longer than two pages A4 by email to Ian Sinclair: i.sinclair@lse.ac.uk.
The strongest applicants will be selected and interviewed to discuss their proposal in more detail. To take up the scholarship the successful candidate must be accepted onto a PhD Programme at the LSE starting in Autumn 2011.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 31 March 2011. It is expected that shortlisted candidates will be notified in April 2011, with interviews taking place in May 2011.
