Philosophy PhD Scholarship (Managing Severe Uncertainty)

The Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science is offering a three-year scholarship for students commencing their MPhil/PhD in Philosophy in September 2013. The scholarship provides full tuition fees and living expenses of approximately £15K per year for the three years. The scholarship is attached to an AHRC funded research project on Managing Severe Uncertainty and successful candidates will be expected to pursue doctoral research into one of the areas covered by the research project: decision making under severe uncertainty, uncertainty in scientific modelling and the implications of scientific uncertainty for policy making. In addition, applicants must be UK or EU residents and meet the normal entry requirements for the MPhil/PhD in Philosophy. To be considered for the Philosophy PhD Scholarships, you must submit an application for the MPhil/PhD in Philosophy at the LSE no later than the 15th June, including a research proposal which specifies the contribution of your proposed research to the project.
