Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
IAS asked us to circulate the e-mail below. Happy to comply. It also reveals the successful clusters, even though Iain (I guess inadvertently) only revealed 3 out of 4. So the fourth cluster is still a bit of a mystery…
Best,
Till

Subject: IAS Studentships Update
Date: 8. June 2023 at 15:59:27 GMT+1
Cluster leads, please can you cascade to members of your clusters
Colleagues
I would like to update you all on the outcome of the inaugural IAS Studentships competition. We have been communicating with cluster leads and students over the last week as we thought it appropriate to inform them of the outcomes of the process first. We know there is widespread appetite for more information about how the process unfolded and the choices we made as part of a more general update for everyone who has participated, and we appreciate your patience in waiting for this.
The competition has been an outstanding success. We received over 600 valid Expressions of Interest for the 39 potential clusters that colleagues put forward for the competition. The quality of the student applications we generated was genuinely outstanding. It is clear that there is huge demand to come to Stirling for study at doctoral level amongst the very best students. This is testament to the quality of the cluster propositions that colleagues generated, and I would once again like to offer my thanks to everyone that was involved in creating a proposal.
The IAS Executive met at the end of May to review all of the valid EoIs and determine our preferred studentship award winners. Our panel considered all aspects of the cluster proposal, student quality and alignment between cluster/student proposal aims and objectives in coming to its decisions. The standard of shortlisted students in terms of existing qualifications and experience was extremely high indeed, and completely outstripped our expectations such that we could have awarded the 16 studentships available several times over.
In coming to our final decisions, we reached consensus that four of the proposed clusters had a particularly outstanding combination of research potential and student quality that marked them out as the very best of an extremely strong field. These were Accessible Environments; Animal Welfare in a Changing World; Nature Emergency: Interdisciplinary Responses by Active Citizens; Democracy, Human Rights and Communication/Advocacy in the Digital Age. Special congratulations to colleagues who put forward these cluster proposals; we look forward to working with you to make them a success for the students and the University.
IAS will be conducting a review of how this year's process worked over the summer with a view to putting forward options for how subsequent rounds of the studentship competition will be run. We will contact all clusters about this in due course, but cluster leads are of course able to contact me in the interim if you’d like to discuss any aspect of the process.
Once again, can I thank you all for the energy and enthusiasm that has been generated by the first round of studentships and that we hope to build upon in future.
Very best wishes
Iain.

Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
A big thank you to everyone who contributed with their initial scoring of EoIs. These were enormously helpful!
Based on your scores, we have now narrowed down the shortlist to 15 applicants. In a final step, we now have to choose the Top 9, so we have to eliminate another 6 EoIs.
This final selection will be made on the basis of the following two criteria:
1. Do we have supervisory capacity for a proposal like this?
2. Is the proposal credibly interdisciplinary?
For this, we would like to ask for your help one last time.
I am attaching an excel table with the top 15 applicants
* Columns A-R contain the original applications (incl. personal statement & research proposal)
* Columns S to X contain the initial scores by those who helped us out
* Column Y contains the average of these scores
* Column Z is new and we would like as many of you as possible to fill this in for us
* The info we need is simple: Would you be able to (co-)supervise this student?
* 4 possible answers
* 3 = Yes, definitely. I am actually keen to be part of the supervisory team for this student
* 2 = Fine, I could see myself getting involved in supervising
* 1 = Hmmm, borderline but I could get involved as co-supervisor
* 0 = No, not really
* We would ideally like as many interdisciplinary supervisory teams as possible
* So please consider whether you can score a 1, even if it is not your principal area of interest
* For example: Say you are a Health Psychologist and the application is behavioural-economics heavy but touches on health-related questions, we would be grateful if you didn’t dismiss it right away but would consider joining perhaps as secondary supervisor (and score with 1)
So here is the favour: Could I ask each of you to fill in column Z of the attached table and return to me by this coming Monday, noon?
* As always: The more the merrier
Thanks so much and best wishes,
Till

Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
Please don’t mind the odd time, I’m writing this. I’m currently in a different time zone.
IAS has released some initial numbers on the expressions of interest and the news is very good.
While we don’t yet have information on individual student quality, it is fair to say that we hit the targets when it comes to raw numbers.
* Our sub-cluster received the fourth-most applications out of 39 clusters
* We are actually just one application shy of tying for 2nd place in that metric
* Equally important, we are ranked overall second when it comes to applications from Home students
* With an overall number of 37 EoIs (12 Home, 25 International), I feel that we are in a strong position going forward.
Details here: Expressions of Interest by cluster summary.pdf<https://stir.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/InstituteforAdvancedStudies/EcE_3jqpEsNOl…>
Best,

Subject: IAS Studentships update - Initial review
Date: 20. April 2023 at 23:31:45 GMT+9
To: Institute for Advanced Studies <ias(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:ias@stir.ac.uk>>
All
As you know, the student competition for our IAS studentships closed last Friday, 14 April. The response was fantastic and completely outstripped our expectations. In total we received 714 Expressions of Interest.
Since the closing date, IAS has undertaken a first review of the EoIs received to check that they meet the basic eligibility criteria we set in terms of completing the form, university entrance requirements etc. After this initial check was completed, we were left with 617 valid EoIs. You can see some summary information about how these were distributed across the clusters and overarching themes here in the Expressions of Interest by cluster summary.pdf<https://stir.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/InstituteforAdvancedStudies/EcE_3jqpEsNOl…> .
The IAS Executive met yesterday to consider whether any other sifting was required before sending EoIs to clusters for review. As throughout the process, we agreed to impose as few conditions as possible, to enable the process to be driven by student quality and demand whilst ensuring we end up with viable clusters. On the latter point, we decided to make one additional ‘cut’ at this point. As we have said throughout, we regard 3 students as the minimum for a viable cluster. In order to be confident that we will fill the available places, we have made the difficult decision that the 8 clusters that received 6 EoIs or fewer will not move forward as the risk of having fewer than 3 students accepting places is material. Earlier today I contacted those cluster leads to advise them of this decision and the outcome for their clusters.
The IAS Executive also decided to add some additional filtering criteria to those included in the guidance document on recruitment and selection [pdf icon] IAS Studentships Recruitment and Selection Guide.pdf<https://stir.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/InstituteforAdvancedStudies/Ee5piHqZtIZAn…> previously distributed, these are noted below
In their final submissions to IAS, clusters should put forward,
A ranked list of up to 6 preferred candidates, and a ranked list of 3 reserves on the scoring grid that IAS will provide;
No more than 4 of the candidates/reserves can be from overseas. (This is because given the limited funding envelope available and the number of international fee waivers within that, our assumption is that we will need to adopt a distribution rule similar to that in place for DTPs etc that no more than 30% of our final awards will be to overseas students);
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, nominated candidates should have one or both of a first class undergraduate degree and a Masters degree (the former or latter can be due for award in 2023).
Once again, please accept my thanks for all of the effort you have put into the studentships process so far. The response to the student competition demonstrates that there is extremely strong demand from high quality candidates to study for PGR degrees at Stirling. The clusters that you have worked hard to form are clearly focused on important and attractive research ideas, and we encourage you to keep developing them via the Festival of Research events for each overall theme that are happening next month and beyond.
Very best wishes
Iain and the IAS team.

Dear Members of the Economics Division and Behavioural Science Centre (apologies for cross posting),
As PhD convener, it is my pleasure to be able to invite you to Liz Barnes's first annual review. This will take place per the invite attached.
A brief recap of the process. Over the course of their first year our PhD students are expected to produce a draft of a paper alongside ongoing training in Economics and Research methods. At the end of their first year, Students have their first milestone in their programme in the form of their annual review. This annual review is comprised of a public presentation to the division (and a formal closed doors review.) I strongly urge current and new PhD students to attend this presentation as it will help give them an idea of the process that they too will undertake.
Liz will be presenting on The Impact of STI Test Modality (in-clinic versus online postal self-sampling) and Funding Source Reminder on Valuation, Adherence intentions, and Preference for STI Tests: A UK experimental study
Abstract
People are increasingly able to test for a variety of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) using ‘test-at-home’ kits technically known as online postal self-sampling (OPSS), in addition to being able to use services administered by healthcare professionals e.g., at a clinic or GP surgery. Whilst OPSS has been well received, particularly by younger people, there remain issues surrounding the responsible and appropriate use of both clinic and self-sample tests, with concerns about wastage and implications for poor health. Previous research indicates that in systems where health care is provided free-at-point-of-use (e.g., the National Health Service in the UK), the inclusion of a reminder that medical services are funded by the taxpayer can boost valuation of products and services, and improve adherence (e.g., intentions to follow instructions accompanying medications or services). Drawing on this approach, we employ an experimental design to examine whether test modality (in-clinic versus OPSS) and the inclusion (or not) of a reminder that the services are ‘Funded by the UK taxpayer’ on an STI test service website, impacts valuation of the service and adherence intentions with test requirements. Counter to previous findings, results indicate the reminder of the funding source did not influence outcomes. However, test modality was impactful, with in-clinic tests (versus OPSS) being valued more monetarily, but not subjectively. Participants also indicated greater preference (more likely to use), and greater adherence intentions (complete the testing process as recommended) for OPSS versus in-clinic tests. Findings offer insight into the role of test modality on STI testing valuation and adherence, whilst also highlighting potential limitations of using funding source disclosure to encourage more positive health attitudes and behaviours.
I hope to see you there!

Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
IAS have sent us the list of applicants to our cluster. They now need a shortlist of 9 candidates (6 + 3 reserve) by 22nd May.
We want to keep the process as transparent and democratic as possible and invite you to participate in the shortlisting. This is an invitation, so don’t feel obliged if you don’t have the time or are not interested in participating with the selection. But, to maximise the wisdom of the crowd, I’d say: the more the merrier!
Could you please let me know if you would like to participate in the shortlisting? I will forward the list of applicants and the detailed selection criteria to everyone who wants take part.
If you are in, here is what we would need from you by 15th of May:
1. Familiarise yourself with the selection criteria put forward by IAS
2. Based on these criteria, give us a ranked list of your personal top 9 applicants (i.e. 1) Candidate X; 2) Candidate Y; ... 9) Candidate Z)
* Make sure that this list contains a maximum of 4 international students, per the IAS rules
This is how we plan to aggregate all personal rankings by cluster members
* An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.1 gets 9 points
* An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.2 gets 8 points
* An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.3 gets 7 points
* …
* An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.9 gets 1 points
* An applicant who does not get ranked by a cluster member gets 0 points
* We will then sum up these points for each applicant over all cluster members
* This will be the aggregate ranking that will form the basis for the cluster short list
* Kind of like the Eurovision Song Contest…
Thanks and best wishes,
Till

Dear All
Following on from our meeting before Easter thought I would follow up with some options for moving clusters forward (I have attached my slides from the meeting). I want to acknowledge again that different clusters will be in different places and so you may not feel the need to engage with this, but we would like to fan the flames of the enthusiasm that came from the clusters ;
1. If you want to meet with a member of RIBE either the business or the funding team then please contactresearchdevelopment(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:researchdevelopment@stir.ac.uk> and they can arrange individual meetings with the clusters.
2. The idea of hearing about what other clusters were planning was well received but I am very aware we are in marking season and you will need to be looking at applications over the next month so we will leave this for now, the sessions in festival are focussed around the mega clusters so we can use those as an opportunity to hear more about what is going on in those areas.
3. Booking space out in campus central. You can do this any time through https://resourcebooker.stir.ac.uk/ If you want to use the space for your cluster to meet during festival of research then we are hoping to provide some refreshments and the chance to mingle in the central area as well as use the meeting rooms more formally. we have currently block booked the space but will open up the rooms for morning and afternoon sessions (9-1) (1-5) which clusters can book. It would be lovely to see the space busy and we are only anticipating that individual clusters would be there for one or two half days across the fortnight- of course you are welcome to use it more if that is of benefit. In order to book then email ias(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:ias@stir.ac.uk> specifying the days and time you would like and they will allocate on a first come first served basis.
4. Impact- this will come up in festival and look out for more news about it but the FoSS Impact accelerator account is just getting up and running and will provide opportunities for everyone to think about impact, access training or funding for accelerating impact
If there is another way in which you think we could support you then please let me know and I will see what we can do.

Dear Behavioural Science cluster,
As you may be aware, other clusters have been posting their own ads on findaphd to promote their specific clusters. After much back and forth, our cluster has finally been allowed to follow suit (better late than never).
Since IAS funds for findaphd had already been exhausted, the cost for this ad are now paid by SMS/Economics (thank you, Mirko!!). For this reason, the title needed to have the word ‘Economics' in it which is why the ad is titled 'PhDs in Behavioural Science/Behavioural Economics'
Here is the link to the ad. Please circulate as you see fit. Just 10 more days to go!

Best wishes,
Till

Dear members of the behavioural science cluster,
Moments ago, you should have received an e-mail that notified you of having been added to the Behavioural Science cluster e-mail list.
I have created this e-mail list (thanks to Hector for setting up it for us!) to facilitate future communications within the cluster (we are already 20+ members and counting…). So rather than having to manually add people to the recipient list of e-mails, in the future you can simply write an e-mail to behsci(a)lists.stir.ac.uk<mailto:behsci@lists.stir.ac.uk>.
If you ever want to unsubscribe, just let me know, and I will do that right away.
Best,
Till
