A Faculty-funded fee remittance for part-time PhD study will be available (for as long as the Teaching Assistant role is held).
This part time (0.5 FTE) Graduate Teaching Assistant role is accompanied by part time PhD funding that covers PhD tuition fees and research costs plus a top-up stipend ensuring total income is aligned with that provided by full time UKRI- funded studentships. The funding is for 6 years conditional on satisfactory progress in both the PhD and GTA roles.
