Applications are invited for the G. L. S. Shackle Studentship for a single Cambridge University term ideally for the 2009 Michaelmas Term, although consideration will be given to applicants wishing to take up the Studentship earlier or later up to June 2010. The Studentship is open to students/scholars who may be graduates of any University and of any seniority. It provides the successful candidate with one term's free single accommodation in the College if available, plus a meals allowance, or a sum of £2,000, paid in instalments over a period of ten weeks. In order to qualify for the award it will be necessary for the successful applicant to produce a scholarly paper relating to Shackle at the end of her/his tenure. The scholarly paper should be of sufficient standard to be publishable in a leading economics journal.
It is important to note that the College cannot be responsible for providing airfares or visas.
The closing date for applications is 19 December 2008. Applications should include a full curriculum vitae with a publications list, a resumé of not more than 2,000 words of the proposed research project, and the names of two academic referees. Early expressions of interest are strongly encouraged.
