[Maths-Education] ESRC +3 studentship available at Cambridge for October start

[Kenneth Ruthven]

Applications are invited for an Economic and Social Research Council [ESRC] 
+3 Research Studentship. The successful applicant will undertake a PhD 
study linked to the Effecting Principled Improvement in STEM Education 
(epiSTEMe) project which lends itself to a wide range of potential topics. 
As part of the ESRC's Targeted Initiative on Science and Mathematics 
Education, this studentship provides a unique opportunity to work as a 
doctoral student with leading researchers in the field, in Cambridge and 
other participating institutions.

The expectation is that the successful applicant will commence in October 
2009. This full-time award is subject to the standard terms and conditions 
for ESRC +3 Research Studentships. Essentially, these mean that it is 
available only to persons who have undertaken a recognised educational 
research training course, and who are already ordinarily resident and with 
settled status in the United Kingdom or another European Union country. 
Candidates must also satisfy University and Faculty requirements for PhD 
study.

Details of the Application Procedure and Further Particulars of the 
Studentship are available at <http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/about/jobs/>.
