italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER
The School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at the University of
Manchester expects to offer one AHRC Doctoral Studentship to a student
starting on PhD research in Italian in September 2011. The award
covers full-time fees and maintenance for three years. Furthermore,
the School will also be offering a number of funding awards for
outstanding PhD candidates. For details please see our funding page at
http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding/
Interested applicants should submit their applications for doctoral
study online by 15 February 2011 and their AHRC applications by 1
March 2011. Applications received after this deadline will still be
considered for acceptance to the programme but will be ineligible for
AHRC funding. Applicants are strongly advised to make contact with
potential supervisors well in advance of the deadlines.
The Italian Department at Manchester is one of the largest Italian
Departments in the UK with six research active members of staff and a
substantial postgraduate community. Members of staff in Italian at
Manchester engage in truly interdisciplinary research and would be
willing to supervise on a wide variety of topics in the fields of
history, literature, cultural history, history of the book, visual
culture, Renaissance culture, Dante, linguistics, and cinema studies
from the Duecento to the contemporary. Interdisciplinary and
transnational projects are very welcomed since co-supervisions can be
arranged across one of the largest School of Languages, Linguistics
and Cultures in the UK (see for details:
http://www.llc.manchester.ac.uk/research/). Co-supervisions with
colleagues in History, English, Media studies, Linguistics and Art
History would also be possible. For more details about the Department
and its research culture, please visit our website:
