The project, of which the HDR candidate’s research will form part, aims to critically examine a number of accounts of how (and if) we may reconcile what we know about ordinary objects with the unexpected things science has taught us about space, time, and the fundamental building blocks of nature. We anticipate generating new knowledge in metaphysics, exploiting the recent ‘locative turn’ to revitalise perennial questions about existence, persistence, and change. More details about the project can be found at https://antonyeagle.org/place/ .

The HDR candidate’s project is expected to be in the fields of metaphysics or philosophy of physics; students with an appropriate background in philosophy or physics are encouraged to apply.

Applicants for the PhD will have a minimum of a First Class Honours or equivalent in Philosophy or Physics (or other relevant discipline) and must be acceptable as candidates for a PhD by Research degree at the University of Adelaide.

Due to the possibility of significant ongoing restrictions on international travel, prospective applicants who reside outside of Australia at the time of application should contact Antony Eagle in advance of making an application.

Stipend: The scholarship will be for up to three years’ full-time study for the PhD, and up to two years’ full-time study for the Master of Philosophy, with a stipend of $28,092 per annum (2020 rate), indexed annually. It is likely to be tax exempt, subject to Taxation Office approval The successful candidate will be eligible to receive research support funding from the grant of up to $10,000 during their study (up to $5000 for Masters candidates), in addition to being able to apply for other University of Adelaide HDR funds for which postgraduate students are eligible.

CAREER OPPORTUNITY – REGIONAL PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST

The Organisation

Handicap International Federation (operating under the name Humanity & Inclusion) is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

The Region is known as the East African Region (EAR), encompassing 3 countries (Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda). While the regional set up of the structure is ongoing, the three countries each have vibrant programmes, with experienced staff and a strong presence in both humanitarian and development context. HI in Kenya and Rwanda have been operational since the early 1990s, and Uganda since 2017. All three countries implement a number of projects under similar technical domains such as Rehabilitation, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, Inclusive Education, Livelihoods and Resilience but each also have their own specific technical focus in other areas. All 3 countries work with local partners, and ensure strong advocacy on the rights of persons with disabilities.

The regional programme hub is based in Kampala, Uganda. Currently, the Regional Director and the structure of the regional office, including The Regional Technical Unit is being progressively set up under the leadership of the Technical Unit Manager.

The Role

Reporting to the Technical Unit Manager and in collaboration with Regional Director, Country Managers and Operations Managers, the Regional Programme Development Specialist designs the fundraising strategy of the programme where he/she is based. He/she identifies funding opportunities and leads the concept notes and project proposals development process in coordination with all departments, with the expected output of having documents ready for submission to donors (public institutions, foundations and private sector).

Based on the Regional Operational Strategy (StratOp), the Regional Programme Development Specialist will lead the design of the Fundraising action plan in coordination with all Departments. The regional action plan will include a regional strategy and country level strategies. This will be done in close coordination with Regional Programme Director, Country Managers, Operational Managers and Technical Specialists. She or He will coordinate and lead the implementation of this action plan at all levels: donor engagements, funding opportunities monitoring, partnership opportunities, proposal development lead.

The three countries have good overall funding for the projects. However, the StratOp defines strategic options and opportunities for the regional programme and its mission which will be implemented by the Regional Programme Development Specialist.

The main sectors of intervention of HI in the three countries of the EAR programme are related to Social and Economic Inclusion including Education; Health, Prevention and Rehabilitation including MHPSS; and Protection including Inclusive Humanitarian Action.

Who are applying to Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS)

The scholarship will not be paid during a Year Abroad or a Year in Industry placement.

Further details

The University of Kent undergraduate Colleges were named after men who achieved great success in their chosen fields, but not all had a smooth passage to fame. Although Keynes went to Eton and obtained a First at Kings College Cambridge, Eliot suffered from medical problems and, in his first attempt, obtained only a pass degree. Rutherford was the second choice for the Exhibition Research Scholarship which set him on the path to become the father of nuclear physics, and Darwin failed to complete his studies to become a doctor and – later – a pastor, before becoming the world’s most famous botanist.

The lesson: even those we now know as the greatest in their field did not always have a smooth or obvious path to fulfil their capabilities. Indeed we, the undergraduates who helped found the University in 1965, were chosen against a wide range of criteria, often not including high A-Level results; what was identified in us was the capability to develop both ourselves and the new University.

This is why we, the undergraduates who helped found the University, have established the First 500 Scholarship to assist those whose full potential has yet to develop or whose talents are not recognised by current assessment methods. Should you choose to apply we, your predecessors of 1965, wish you every success in your application and future studies.

How to apply

Applicants must:

1. Meet the criteria as shown above.

2. Write an essay of 750-1,000 words on the following:

“When the first students arrived at the new University of Kent at Canterbury (as the University was then known) in 1965, there were no societies, no sports clubs, and no student representation. In 2018, 20,000 students enjoy 67 sports clubs, 189 societies, and there are over 400 student representatives.

Kent’s first students had the opportunity – and the responsibility – to start all of these from scratch. If we were opening a new university in 2020 and you were in that first student intake, what would you start and why?”

3. Save the essay as a Word document. At the top of the document, please include:

The essay title

Your full name

Your University of Kent identification number

And email the document to First500@kent.ac.uk

By the deadline of 23:59 GMT on Sunday 31 October 2021.
