Dear all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
Please find attached a call for two PhD studentships
SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
Two fully funded PhD Studentships in the School of Languages and Social Sciences
Reference Number: R130092
The School of Languages and Social Sciences (LSS), invites applications for two fully funded PhD studentships from strong candidates in any of the research areas covered by the School. The studentship is for full-time study over three years, commencing in October 2013.
LSS is a multi-disciplinary research-focused School which brings together researchers in the areas of Languages (French, German, Spanish), Translation Studies, Politics and International Relations, Sociology and Public Policy, and English Language. Further information on the School’s research areas can be found here.
1 October 2013 start date with completion date of 30 September 2016
Financial Support
Will be provided to the successful applicant to cover the Home/EU fees rate (£3,900 in academic year 2013/14) plus a maintenance grant at the standard AHRC/ESRC rate (£13,590 in academic year 2012/13) with the corresponding standard increases in subsequent years. Applicants from outside the EU may apply for this studentship but will need to pay the difference between the ‘Home/EU’ and the ‘Overseas’ tuition fees (Overseas tuition fees will be £12,075 in academic year 2013/14, so a difference of £8,175).
