Kent Business School is offering a PhD scholarship for research in the area of design innovation and user experience under the supervision of Prof. Soo Hee Lee.
The successful candidate will have strong research skills in qualitative and quantitative methods as well as a Distinction at Master’s level in design management, human computer interaction, cognitive psychology or a related discipline.
University of Kent postgraduate scholarships take the form of Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTAs) whereby PhD students receive financial support in return for some part-time teaching. A full GTA covers tuition fees at the home/EU rate plus a combined salary and maintenance grant of up to the full UK Research Council rate of13,590 (2012-13 rate).
Students engaged as Graduate Teaching Assistants hold a unique position in the University; they are both registered students in receipt of a scholarship award and employees of the University. As such they hold two mutually dependent agreements with the University of Kent and are required to abide by the terms and conditions of both, as well as enjoying the benefits of each scheme. Full terms and conditions are available here.
For more information about the Kent PhD programme please see here. Applications should be made online, but applicants may also wish to contact Prof. Lee for an informal discussion.
Deadline: Friday 9 November 2012 for a January 2013 start.
