ESRC +3 Research Studentship in Science and
Mathematics Education (full-time PhD)
Faculty of Education
Effecting Principled Improvement in STEM Education (epiSTEMe): Student Engagement and Learning in Early Secondary-School Physical Science and Mathematics
Applications are invited for an Economic and Social Research Council [ESRC] +3 Research Studentship to undertake a PhD study linked to the work of the epiSTEMe project which lends itself to a wide range of potential topics. This project forms part of the ESRC's Targeted Initiative on Science and Mathematics Education. It provides a unique opportunity to work as a doctoral student with leading researchers in the field, in Cambridge and the other participating institutions.
The Research Studentship holder will work primarily on an independent study associated with the project, but will have opportunities for involvement in all aspects of the project's work relevant to supporting advanced research training and career development. Supervision will be provided by one or more of the project investigators: Professors Kenneth Ruthven, Christine Howe, Neil Mercer, and Dr Keith Taber.
The studentship is available for up to 36 months. The expectation is that the successful candidate will commence in October 2009, at the start of the 2009/10 academic year.
This award is subject to the standard terms and conditions for ESRC Research Studentships. Essentially, these mean that it is available only to persons already ordinarily resident and with settled status in the United Kingdom or another European Union country. Candidates must also satisfy normal 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/. Any enquiries should be directed to Emma Rixon (er206@...) in the Faculty's Higher Degrees office.
