A scholarship to study at the University of Sheffield has recently been posted. It seems that you must be a UK resident to qualify, but that might apply to some of you. Sorry for getting everyone else’s hopes up!
A full AHRC scholarship is available for doctoral work in religious studies at the University of Sheffield, starting in the academic sessions 2010/11.
The scholarship is covers the cost of the UK/EU tuition fees and provides an annual, tax-free maintenance stipend at the standard UK research rate, which
for 2010/11 is £13,650 for doctoral students. A fees-only scholarship award covers the cost of the UK/EU tuition fees only. The type of scholarship awarded is based on an applicant’s residency status. UK applicants and EU applicants who have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years immediately preceding the
start of their course are eligible for the full scholarship. EU applicants that have not been resident in the UK for 3 years immediately preceding the start of
their course are eligible for a fees-only award. International applicants are not normally eligible. Awards for doctoral study are tenable for a
maximum of three years full-time and five years part-time subject to satisfactory progress.
Candidates will be required to have gained a Masters degree, or be working towards the completion of a Masters degree.
Deadline: Friday 9th April 2010 at 5pm (GMT)
Further details, including the application form, are available on the Department of Biblical Studies website:

Daniel, you probably know it already but the well known FF Bruce put Sheffield on the “map” if you may. He did great things there to develop good New Testament research if I am not mistaken?
