This year we are
celebrating the 10th anniversary of the University of Glasgow’s flagship Lord Kelvin Adam Smith (LKAS) PhD
Scholarships. To date 100 fully funded interdisciplinary PhD projects have been
created.

 The LKAS PhD Scholarships
offer the opportunity for outstanding research students to participate in some
of the most exciting areas of interdisciplinary research carried out at the
University.

 This year priority
will be given to projects which align with the ‘Challenge Areas’ of the Global Challenges Research Fund or strategic goals of the University .

·        
Up to 4 years stipend at UK Research Council recommended rates – estimated
to be £14,510 for 2017/18.

·        
Open to home, EU and international students.

·        
Annual research support budget of £3000.

·        
Full fee waiver.

During October each
year researchers from across the University submit project proposals, from
which 6 from each of the 4 Colleges (24 in total) are selected to be advertised
to potential doctoral students. Of these, 10 scholarships are
generally awarded, based on the excellence of both the project and the selected
candidate.

Staff submitting
project proposals should consult LKAS PhD Scholarships Project Proposal Process for details.

Potential PhD
projects will be advertised during late November 2016 to 13 January 2017 but
check the Shortlisted LKAS PhD Projects for individual deadline
details.
