The John Sisk Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Civil Engineering

The John Sisk Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Civil Engineering is funded by John Sisk & Son Ltd. to promote university research in the area of civil engineering construction. The scholarship is valued at approximately €20,000 per annum and is tenable at University College Cork. It is awarded to a civil or structural engineering graduate to support full-time postgraduate studies in the area of structural design or civil engineering construction. The scholarship holder is required to register for full-time postgraduate study under the supervision of a member of academic staff specializing in structural design or civil engineering construction. If the holder registers for a PhD, the scholarship will run for three consecutive years, subject to satisfactory progress of the research work as determined by the Head of the Discipline of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. Applications must include a curriculum vitae, the names of two referees, and a carefully documented research proposal. The applications are considered by a Board comprising the Head of School and the Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, with the award made by the Academic Council on the Board's recommendation.
