Dear All
I should be very grateful if you would forward this notice to anyone who might be interested in applying for one of our studentships.
The University of Southampton’s ESRC Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) is one of 21 across the UK that has been accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). It has been awarded 18 ESRC scholarships to fund postgraduate training and research at doctoral level every year for the next five years. In addition, the University are offering further awards through the Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship and Mayflower Schemes. Full details can be found at:

The Sociology and Social Policy Division would like to invite applications for these awards. The Division offers a broad range of supervisory expertise and has a thriving and active community of postgraduate researchers who are supported by a first-class research-training infrastructure. We have particular strengths in the following research themes:
• Methodological innovation
• Families and communities
• Living standards and welfare
• Work and organisations
• Religion, ethnicity and belonging
• Crime and social cohesion
Students are supervised by one or more members of the Division, and mutli-disciplinary connections can also be made with other areas of expertise across the University. The Division has strong links with three ESRC centres of research excellence which are hosted by the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences: the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM), the Centre for Population Change (CPC) and the Third Sector Research Centre (TSRC), as well as the University’s Work Futures Research Centre and the Websciences DTC.
