Northern Institute of Philosophy Visiting Scholarships for 2013 (EXPIRED)

The Northern Institute of Philosophy (NIP) at The University of Aberdeen is pleased to announce the availability of NIP Scholarships for visits to NIP within the period 20 May to 12 July 2013 . Successful applicants will have well-developed research interests in one or more of the projects currently running at NIP (Relativism and Rational Tolerance, Testimony, Pluralism, Self Knowledge).

The Fellowships will provide an opportunity to pursue and present research in a supportive collaborative environment. Successful applicants will be expected to participate fully in the regular NIP activities and various workshops and conferences scheduled to take place during the NIP session. The Fellowships are given in the form of the provision of travel and accommodation costs for the visit.

Applications should include: a cover letter, a research statement and a writing sample (max 5000 words) and a letter of recommendation by a supervisor (from graduate applicants) or a CV (from faculty applicants). They should be sent to Sharon Coull on the email address below by 30th November 2012. Although applications for shorter visits will be considered, priority will be given to candidates proposing visits for the full period who are engaged in research on topics within the remit of one or more of the current Institute projects.
