MQRES European Union Phd Scholarship
Applications close 14 December 2008
The Integration of the European Union
In 2009, the IUEU Centre will be offering a scholarship for a PhD research project focused on the European Union, the integration process in general, or related areas of research. Applicants may be based in Politics and International Relations, History, Law, Economics, Commerce, European Languages and Cultural Studies, or another discipline appropriate to the particular proposal.
The IUEU Centre is based on a consortium of seven universities, with La Trobe and Macquarie as the two principal nodes and Griffith, James Cook, Newcastle, Flinders and Murdoch as partner universities. The first of this year's scholarships will be based at Macquarie University, but the Centre will facilitate co-supervision using appropriate expertise from another university in the seven-member consortium.
MQRES scholarships are open to Australian or International applicants. Applicants should have completed an Australian Bachelor degree with high First Class Honours or demonstrate equivalent research qualifications and meet the University’ general admission requirements including English proficiency. The maximum tenure of award is 3.5 years, subject to satisfactory progress, and the scholarship offers a stipend in line with the current Australian Postgraduate Award currently $20,427 (2009) per annum tax exempt.
Further information about the projects at Macquarie University may be obtained by emailing Blanche Menadier: blanche.menadier@humn.mq.edu.au.
