ICTs and Development PhD Fellowships at Manchester

The University of Manchester is this year providing a set of 
graduate teaching fellowships which can be used to support 
PhD study in topics on ICTs/information systems and socio-
economic development.  The deadline for PhD application to 
be considered for a fellowship is May 6.

Only very high-quality candidates will be considered.  We are 
typically looking for a roughly distinction-level grade in an 
MSc from a Western or Western-equivalent university in an 
appropriate topic (which includes but is not limited to 
information systems, management, or development); good 
English skills; evidence of teaching capability; and a relevant 
topic for study backed by a proposal that demonstrates an 
ability to work with academic theory.

Any selected candidate will join the University's Development 
Informatics Group; a fifteen-strong unit studying various 
aspects of the relation between information systems, ICTs and 
development.  Given the nature of the fellowship, candidates 
will need to be based full-time in Manchester.

Any topic related to development informatics will be 
considered although we have particular concentrations at 
present on: e-commerce and development; information systems 
in small/micro-enterprise; the ICT (esp. software) sector; 
theorising e-development; ICTs in mountain regions; Internet 
diffusion in Africa and the Middle East; and impact assessment 
of ICTs in development.

Further details on the fellowship scheme, which is provided by 
the University's School of Environment and Development, 
including details on how to apply, can be found at:
