Educational Research PhD Scholarship
Ph.D Studentship in Educational Research
College of Social Sciences Graduate School, University of Glasgow
1 Part-Time PhD Studentship
Applications are sought from appropriately qualified candidates who would like to pursue a part-time PhD programme of research in the area of Educational Policy and Practice within the School of Education. The focus of the research will be on one of the ‘grand challenges’ of our time, the relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and low educational achievement and what might be done to close the gap between learners from more and less advantaged backgrounds. The successful candidate will be part of a larger team involved in a new and exciting initiative at the University of Glasgow exploring ways in which research, policy and practice might interact to promote more equitable education systems.
The studentship includes full fees and a stipend in line with the agreed RCUK rates (currently £6863 per year for a part-time student). Progression to submission of thesis will be subject to satisfactory annual progress.
In the first instance, potential candidates should prepare an outline proposal addressing the following key questions:
1. What policies, processes and practices demonstrate success in loosening the link between low educational achievement and disadvantage?
2. How can these practices be moved across and between schools while retaining their potency?
This research should be designed to shed new light on enduring questions that have preoccupied researchers over many years:
- What are the key factors linking low educational achievement to socio-economic disadvantage?
- How do these factors interact with each other?
- What can schools do to offset socio-economic disadvantage?
