We are looking for applications for representatives for our Doctoral Researcher Committee (DRC), ideally a minimum of 2 positions to represent each of our 17 member HEIs. This is a unique opportunity to engage with SGSAH, working with your peers and our partners to build effective research communities that can support doctoral researchers to reach their full potential. Please note that you do not need to be a SGSAH funded PhD researcher to apply – just a desire to represent your fellow researchers within SGSAH.

We are particularly keen to invite applications from doctoral researchers from the following universities as they are currently under-represented on the DRC: - 

Abertay University
Edinburgh Napier University
The Glasgow School of Art
Glasgow Caledonian University
Heriot-Watt University
Queen Margaret University
Robert Gordon University
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
University of Aberdeen
University of the Highlands & Islands

We will be accepting applications between 12th February – 11th March 2024 

Apply here

Please note that there will be a Doctoral Researcher Committee introductory online meeting at 10.30am on Thursday 18 April 2024 so we would ask all applicants to please save the date!

All successful applicants will also be expected to attend the in-person DRC meeting at the 2024 SGSAH Summer School on Wednesday 19 June 2 - 3.30pm at the ARC Building in the University of Glasgow.

Before completing this application, please read the guidance available here and seek approval from your supervisor.
