PhD in Anti-doping, Ethics & LawShould anyone know of anyone who might be interested in such a gig. The research topic itself sounds interesting - we'll just have to wait 5 years before we'll see any results though.
Fully-funded PhD Studentship
Anti-doping, Ethics & Law
School of Health Science
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available within the field of anti-doping ethics and law. The studentship will cover UK/EU fees plus a stipend on £13,000 p.a.
Applicants should have a background in applied ethics, law, philosophy or sports ethics, or a relevant clinical-professional discipline.
Further information:
An opportunity has arisen for an outstanding graduate to work for a PhD in an exciting project funded by School of Health Science at Swansea University. The study will investigate ethico-legal aspects of anti-doping policy and practice. This may cover one or more of the following:
• Athlete's rights in relation to anti-doping policy and practice
• Ethico-legal critique of WADA's new code
• Ethico-legal aspects of genetic enhancement
• Ethico-legal aspects of sports physicians in relation to doping
• Ethico-legal aspects of intelligence-led doping testing
• Harm-minisation versus punative approaches to anti-doping
• Privacy and the Whereabouts policy
• The development of the UK's National Anti-Doping Organisation
The topic of the actual studentship will be negotiated with the successful applicant.
The project will be supervised by Prof. Mike McNamee and Mr Richard Griffith, Institute for Health Research (School of Health Science)
Who is eligible:
• This studentship is only available to UK/EU applicants.
• Applicants must have a minimum of a 2.1 degree. A Masters qualification in a relevant discipline (e.g. applied philosophy/ethics, law, sports ethics) would be an advantage. (Applicants holding qualifications from non-UK institutions will be expected to hold a qualification equivalent to a 2.1 UK honours degree or a UK Masters).
• Applications are open to new full-time PhD students from the UK or EU.
How to Apply:
Please submit a two page research proposal, covering letter and CV, including research experience to date, scientific interests and at least two references.
These should be sent to Mrs Karin Terry, Institute for Health Research, School of Health Science, Swansea University, Swansea, SA2 8PP or emailed to: k.terry@swansea.ac.uk
The application closing date is 4th September 2009.
