Iran Society Bursary for final year PhD students

22 September 2020

The Iran Society is inviting applications, through the British Institute of Persian Studies, for a one year bursary of £5000 for 2020-21 to enable a final year PhD student at a UK Higher Educational Institution (university, museum or similar) to complete and, time permitting, initiate a post-doctoral research project. The bursary may be divided into £2500 each for two finalists for the same purpose.

Applicants will need to provide:

  • a curriculum vitae (CV);
  • a brief summary of the project in under 100 words and a longer description in greater detail in not more than 700 words;
  • a timeline plan indicating the stages of their project and the anticipated final date of submission;
  • realistic details of their current funding position, budget and the costs of the study up to completion. If they will complete well within the year, they must give the financial details involved in any postdoctoral project till the final date of this award;
  • names of two referees, one of whom should be their supervisor.

The deadline for applications is 11th October 2020 at 6pm. More details on the application process are available at the British Institute of Persian Studies website .
