Dear Colleagues (and with apologies for cross-posting)
Goldsmiths is part of a new block grant AHRC studentship partnership (with Sussex, Kent, Goldsmiths, Essex, The Courtauld and the Open University) which means that we will be entering successful applicants to our PhD programmes to a competition for these studentships in the spring of 2014.
The funding has been awarded to CHASE (Consortium for Humanities and the Arts South-East England) – a partnership of seven institutions formed to promote excellence in research, postgraduate research training and knowledge exchange in the arts and humanities.
The £17m will fund doctoral students who apply successfully to the members of the CHASE consortium. Applications will be considered jointly by the partner universities via four panels. Applications will be considered on a competitive basis.
More than 230 students across the seven CHASE institutions will benefit from the award, over five years. For UK students, these awards cover both fees and maintenance and for EU residents awards are on a fees only basis. The funding will cover, professional development opportunities, including the enhancement of media skills and placements overseas or with prestigious arts organisations.
If you want to be considered for one of these awards, please note that you need to have been accepted onto this research programme by mid-February. This means that for September 2014 entry you need to have made a formal application to the programme by 31 January 2014 and have had initial contact with us to discuss your proposal by early January 2014. (The consortium will run for several years: we are open to discuss entry in subsequent years with potential candidates) For any enquiries please contact the PhD admissions tutor, Professor Sean Cubitt ([log in to unmask]); and to see staff expertise please consult http://www.gold.ac.uk/media-communications/staff/.
