Expression of interests are sought for a potential collaborative opportunity between the Department of Philosophy, Macquarie University and the School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy, Queen’s University Belfast. Macquarie is administering one of two parallel studentships being offered (the other being administered through Queen's) as key components of the on-going international research collaboration between political philosophers at Macquarie and Queen’s. The successful candidate for this award will enrol as a research student at Macquarie and will, under the terms of a co-tutelle agreement between the institutions, spend up to one year in Belfast, Northern Ireland, as a Queen's research student. Off-campus supervision will also be provided electronically.
The successful candidate will undertake research on the philosophy and politics of recognition under the supervision of Associate Professor Nicholas Smith at Macquarie and Professor Shane O’Neill at Queen’s. The research project should use recognition theory, as it has been developed in recent strands of philosophy and critical social theory, to explore some significant aspect of contemporary political life. This scholarship is available to domestic or international students. Applicants should have equivalent research qualifications to an Australian undergraduate degree with first class honours, such as a Masters degree with a substantial thesis component in a relevant discipline. The scholarship pays a living allowance, currently $A20,007 per annum, tax exempt (2008), and the maximum tenure is 3 years full time (with a possible 1 year extension) subject to satisfactory progress. Tuition fees will be funded for the tenure of the scholarship. For further information and discussion regarding the project applicants are encouraged to contact: Associate Professor Nicholas Smith; email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; telephone: +61-2-9850 8881.
