Subject: Modern Languages PhD Studentships and Bursaries at the University
of Exeter
Modern Languages PhD Studentships and Bursaries
Deadline: 20 March 2009
Interview dates: 20 and 21 April 2009
The Department of Modern Languages at the University of Exeter is offering
excellent funding opportunities for exceptional researchers across a range
of subjects. We are offering:
* Five PhD Studentships: all fees paid for three years plus an annual
maintenance grant equivalent to the AHRC per year for three years. In
2008/09 this was £12,940, the 2009/10 grant will be announced later in the
year.
* 13 PhD Bursaries: £7,000 per year for three years. Bursary
recipients will be required to carry out 80 hours support work a year within
the School in the form of teaching, research support or as International
Ambassador.
The Department of Modern Languages is one of the UK's leading centres for
teaching and research in French, German, Hispanic, Interdisciplinary,
Italian, Medieval, Russian, Film, and Sexuality and Gender Studies. Our
research covers critical theory, culture, history, linguistics and
literature, and we have cross-disciplinary strengths in a number of areas,
including Linguistics, Film, Medieval Studies, the Study of Sexuality and
Gender, and Translation Studies.
Modern Languages welcomes applications for Doctoral research across the full
range of our research areas, including for practice-based doctorates in Film
and Translation. We also welcome research proposals to be undertaken in
collaboration with another department at Exeter (e.g. with English, History,
International Relations, etc). The Department's excellence in research was
confirmed in the results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, in which
more than 80% of our work was recognised internationally in terms of its
originality, significance and rigour.
