Application documents
How to apply
Students should complete the application form and provide their cv. The original and a photocopy of all pages of this documentation including the tutor's reference must accompany a single job application. Students are welcome to apply for more than one placement, but should do so on a single application form. In addition to the original we require a complete set of photocopies of every page for each additional post applied for (application form, cv, tutor's reference). The tutor's comments are considered very important and must be completed on the reference request form and included with each application. Reasonable travel expenses will be paid and claim forms will be sent out with our invitations to interview.
Please return all completed applications by post to Peter Gasson to arrive no later than Wednesday 8 October 2008. The interviews will be held on Thursday 6 November 2008 and we will contact shortlisted candidates via their university supervisor in mid October. Unfortunately due to the volume of the applications we receive, those applicants who have not been selected for interview will not be contacted.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information
