Two Doctoral Scholarships at the Irish Centre for Human Rights: APPLICATIONS WELCOME

The Irish Centre for Human Rights is currently accepting applications for two Doctoral Scholarships.  Applications are sought from students who intend to pursue doctoral level research on topics related to either:

The successful students will be supervised by Professor Michael O’Flaherty, Director of the Centre.  These Scholarships will commence no later than October 2013 and are available for a period of four years. Scholarships comprise an annual stipend of €16,000 inclusive of University tuition fees (accordingly a student paying EU-level fees would receive a tax free stipend of approximately €11,755 per annum).

The holder of a Scholarship is expected to reside in Galway, Ireland and, under the guidance of Professor O’Flaherty, will engage in twenty hours per week of research and research support, teaching and administrative tasks at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, in addition to pursuing his or her own doctoral research.  Those interested in applying should submit the following:
