REGIUS PROFESSORSHIP OF GREEK

A Regius Professor of Greek is due to be appointed at Oxford by Her Majesty the Queen with effect from 1 October 2003. The Professor will be a scholar of distinction who will provide academic leadership over a wide area of Greek Language and Literature. He or she will also be expected to take a leading part in developing the work of the Classics Faculty generally. A non-stipendiary Studentship (i.e. Fellowship) at Christ Church is attached to the Professorship.

Suitably qualified persons wishing to submit their names for consideration are invited to do so not later than 13 January 2003, sending their applications (eleven copies, or one if from overseas), together with the names and contact details (postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone/fax numbers) of three referees who have agreed to act on this occasion, to the Registrar of the University, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD. Further particulars are available from http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/, or from the Registrar. The Professor will not necessarily be chosen from among those who have submitted their names.

VARLEY-GRADWELL TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP IN INSECT ECOLOGY

Applications are invited for a Travelling Fellowship of up to £2,000 in value. It will support field work, travel, etc. in the field of insect ecology. For further information please telephone 01865 282464 or e-mail judith.brown@admin.ox.ac.uk. The closing date for applications is 31 March 2003.

PIRIE-REID SCHOLARSHIPS

Applications are invited for up to two Pirie-Reid Scholarships, tenable at the University of Oxford, from graduates (including persons expecting to graduate in 2003), in any and all fields, who wish to commence studying at Oxford in October 2003 for a Degree or Diploma.

Preference will be given to candidates applying from other universities, i.e. not already matriculated at Oxford, and to those who have lived in or been educated in Scotland. Candidates not fulfilling these criteria are unlikely to be successful.

The Scholarships, which are to be awarded to persons wishing to begin a course of study in Oxford who would otherwise be prevented by lack of funds, will cover University and College fees, and will provide a grant for maintenance, subject to assessment of other sources of income (maintenance grants for 2002-03 will be £7,400 for postgraduate students). They are renewable from year to year, subject to satisfactory progress and continuance of approved full-time study.

Application forms for the Pirie Reid Scholarships may be obtained by writing to Mrs J. Brown, LES Divisional Office, 2 South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3UB (e-mail judith.brown@admin.ox.ac.uk) .

Candidates for the Pirie-Reid Scholarships are expected to have applied for admission to the University through the Graduate Admissions Office, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD. Application forms and supporting information may be obtained by using the online request form at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/gsp/apply/. The closing date for applications is 1 May 2003.
