Scholarships for doctoral studies in Science and Religion to work under the direction of Prof Alister McGrath

All, 

I am delighted to pass along news of an important and exciting new opportunity for your most able students interested in pursuing graduate studies in science and religion and able to apply for a DPhil.  As you may have heard, Professor Alister McGrath has just been appointed to be the Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University.  Some of you may know that Alister has been a close friend and colleague of SCIO and the CCCU joining together to offer multiple summer programmes in science and religion, welcoming SCIO to Wycliffe Hall when he was its principal, and working closely with me in establishing the Scholars' Semester in Oxford. We look forward to Alister returning full time to Oxford to take this post in April (most recently he has held a professorship at Kings College, London).

The Theology Faculty at Oxford has just released the following statement and information on the five new scholarships.

Following the appointment of Professor Alister McGrath as the new Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, the Oxford Faculty of Theology and Religion is delighted to announce that there will be up to five fully-funded three-year studentships available for candidates studying for doctorates in the field of Science and Religion. Three of the studentships in Science and Religion will cover university and college fees at the "overseas" rate. Full details of the studentships and the application process can be found here:
