news - New Third Sector PhD Scholarship

Information below on a new Third Sector PhD Scholarship opportunity.

The closing date for application is 7th May 2010.

We are delighted to let you know that we are working with Cranfield School of Management to support a major new research programme on third sector performance measurement. Funding will be provided for a student to study for a PhD under the title of 'Performance Measurement in the Third Sector' starting in September.

The PhD will be supervised by Cranfield's Centre for Business Performance led by Professor Mike Bourne and will review and map existing practice, increase understanding of the processes and challenges of non profit performance measurement and develop tools and techniques for non profits to embed performance management activities within their organisations.

This investment complements our existing commitment to offer scholarship places for people working in the third sector on Cranfield's prestigious MBA programmes, which is now in its seventh year.

The successful candidate will be registered as a full time PhD student within Cranfield School of Management for 4 years from September 2010. Full-time fees will be paid in addition to a bursary of £13,500 per year to cover living expenses.

We are looking for an exceptional voluntary sector manager to take up the scholarship and would be very grateful if you could forward this to anyone who you think may be interested.

Candidates should, in the first instance, express their interest by submitting a CV setting out their previous experience and any further information that would support their application to wendy.habgood@cranfield.ac.uk by Friday 7th May. For an informal discussion about the project contact Professor Mike Bourne on 01234 754514. Full details of the PhD programme can be found on the website www.som.cranfield.ac.uk/som/doctorates.

Please do feel free to contact me if you would like any further details of this or any other aspect of our work.

With best wishes,
