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.
