Graduate Teaching Scholarships
Department of Philosophy, University of York

Closing date: 16 June 2014

The Department of Philosophy at the University of York wishes to offer one (and possibly two) Graduate Teaching Scholarships to support students working towards a postgraduate research degree in the Department. The scholarships will provide valuable teaching experience for those intending to pursue an academic career.

Any potential candidates who have not already applied to the Department’s postgraduate research programme must do so separately before the closing date for these scholarships (see: www.york.ac.uk/philosophy/postgraduates/).

Successful candidates will teach up to 6 hours a week in seminars and tutorials for first-year undergraduates during term time, mark student work and assist in monitoring the academic progress of first-year students. Training will be provided.

Scholarships start at £7,000 p.a. and rise by £500 increments each year for the period of the scholarship. A fee waiver at the home rate is also included. Subject to satisfactory performance and academic progress, scholarships last for up to three years. The scholarships on offer start from 1 October 2014.
