at The University of Aberdeen is pleased to announce the availability of

**Six NIP Graduate Fellowships***

For visits to NIP within the periods 11 October to 13 December 2010 and 25
May to 11 July 2011 .

Successful applicants will have well-developed research interests in one of
the four projects currently running at NIP (Basic Knowledge, Contextualism
and Relativism, Formal Epistemology, The Self and Self Knowledge). The
Fellowships will provide an opportunity to pursue and present research in a
supportive collaborative environment and 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, up to a maximum of £3000.

Applications should include: a cover letter (stating any preference for an
Autumn or Spring visit), a research statement and a writing sample (max 5000
words) and a letter of recommendation by a supervisor. They should be sent
to Sharon Coull on s.coull@abdn.ac.uk by Sunday 8th August 2010. Although
applications for shorter visits will be considered, priority will be given
to candidates proposing visits for the full 9-week period who are already
engaged in PhD research on topics within the remit of one or more of the
four current Institute projects.
