The Scottish Graduate School of Social Science is delighted to announce the launch of the supervisor-led SGSSS Steers Studentship Competition 2022/23
In line with the ESRC’s core commitment to enhancing social science capability and building capacity in priority areas, the SGSSS is running a two stage supervisor-led competition awarding funded studentships in the following priority areas (steers):
- Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM)
- Datasets*
- Interdisciplinary research which straddles other research council remits
To find out more about each steer, please see the ESRC’s Guidance on Steers and Targets. Please note, additional information on Datasets is included in the competition guidance.
During the 2022/23 competition, SGSSS intend to award up to 4 studentships per steer, resulting in approximately 12 awards in total.
The first supervisor must be a member of a HEI in Scotland that is accredited to hold studentships within their disciplinary pathway, and must have undergone supervisor training within their institution within the last 5 years.
Second supervisors may work within any of the SGSSS 16 partner HEIs. We encourage applicants to consider co-supervision with different universities across our network. You can find full information about the SGSSS partner universities online here.
The deadline for Stage 1 applications has now passed, however shortlisted applicants have until 4pm (GMT) on 7th December 2022 to submit their Stage 2 applications.
