Sheffield Hallam University is excited to announce Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) PHD scholarship opportunities in Health and Social care, starting 01 October 2024.
The health research institute promotes internationally excellent applied health research and innovation across Sheffield Hallam and serves as a nucleus of support for researchers based in our research centres and the academic departments of Nursing and Midwifery and Allied Health Professionals. Our researchers tackle complex health-related challenges in partnership with care providers and through multi-disciplinary collaborations.
Our GTA scholarships are for three and a half years full-time study, covering full-time home PhD fees and pay an annual stipend at the living wage foundation rate of £19,722 per year in the academic year 2024/5.
Graduate teaching assistant scholarships combine PhD study with professional development enabling students to gain practical experience in learning, teaching and assessment in higher education. Please be aware that our GTA positions include a commitment to full-time PhD study and teaching responsibilities, so all applicants must have completed study or resigned from full-time employment in readiness for the start date of 01 October 2024
