> 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 
> <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".
