> Description:
> 
> The University has a three-year PhD Scholarship available for a research project relating to Irish language policy, sociolinguistics or applied linguistics, beginning in January 2014. 
> 
> From 2008 onwards the University of Edinburgh has received a grant to promote the teaching of Irish from the Irish Government's Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. This award will now support a PhD Scholarship beginning in January 2014. 
> 
> The scholarship will cover the UK/EU rate of tuition fees. Any international student who applies for the scholarship must be able to demonstrate the availability of funds to meet the full overseas tuition fee. Funding will extend for three years. 
> 
> The award holder will also receive a stipend in line with the rate paid by the UK Research Councils. In 2013-14 the stipend is £13,726. 
> 
> The award holder will be required to teach Irish language classes at different levels, including some classes in the evening and occasional classes at the weekend. The amount of teaching required would not normally exceed 6 hours per week or 125 hours per year. This teaching forms part of the terms of the award and will not attract additional payment. 
> 
> Applications are welcomed on any topic relating to Irish language policy, sociolinguistics or applied linguistics. Applicants should be fluent speakers of Irish and should hold relevant undergraduate and Master's level qualifications. Experience in teaching Irish would be an advantage, as would some knowledge of Scottish Gaelic.
