> To: Richard Heeks <richard.heeks@manchester.ac.uk>
>
> The Centre for Development Informatics at the University of Manchester is seeking high-quality PhD and DBA candidates to research topics on ICTs/information systems and socio-economic development. Some scholarships are available for those starting in September 2012; deadline dates vary but many require application before end January 2012.
>
> Only very high-quality candidates will be considered. We are typically looking for those with a distinction-level Masters degree from an internationally-recognised university in an appropriate topic (which includes but is not limited to information systems, management, or development); good English skills; and a relevant topic for study backed by a proposal that demonstrates an ability to work with academic theory.
>
> Candidates may choose to study a PhD, for which they will typically be based in Manchester during much of their study, other than a period of fieldwork in a developing country. Those already in employment may choose the DBA route, taken over a four-or-five-year period and requiring roughly two two-week periods of intensive study/supervision per year in Manchester. (Scholarships are not available for DBA study.)
>
> Selected candidates will join the Centre for Development Informatics, the largest academic group working on issues of ICTs in developing countries (http://www.cdi.manchester.ac.uk). CDI will consider any topic related to development informatics although we have particular priorities at present for work on: m-finance; ICTs and small/micro-enterprise; gender implications of ICTs; IS methodologies in developing countries; e-government; ICTs and civil society organisations; ICT policy; ICT-based offshoring; ICT4D innovation; and "development 2.0".
