LSE IDEAS Pinto PhD studentships For 2010 entry, LSE IDEAS is offering two full scholarships for new PhD students in the field of Cold War history. The scholarships cover fees and contribution towards living expenses for three years. They are open to all students undertaking research in any field of Cold War history, with annual renewal subject to satisfactory academic performance at the School. Scholarships will be awarded on academic merit and research potential. Application process There is no separate application form for these awards. However, if you wish to be considered for an award, you must hold an offer for a place in the International History department by 12 June 2010. As we only receive fully completed applications into the department, you should be thinking of applying in good time for this (to allow for collation of references and so on which cause delay). Therefore the deadline for these applications is 1 May, 2010 The award will be made solely on outstanding academic merit and research potential. This relates not only to your past academic record, but also to an assessment of your chosen topic and to your likely aptitude to complete a PhD in the time allocated. The recipient will be expected to teach for free one year out of three at the International History department and carry out a small amount of administrative assistance at IDEAS as part of the tenure of the scholarship. We aim to notify the successful applicant by 30 June 2010. Enquiries about these awards should be directed to Dr Svetozar Rajak in LSE IDEAS, s.rajak@lse.ac.uk.
