The Department of Religious Studies at the University of Kent is now
advertising doctoral studentships covering course fees and an annual
maintenance grant for students planning to begin their doctoral projects
in autumn 2014. Successful applicants will have a strong academic record
and a clearly defined research project reflecting the interests
andexpertise of staff in the Department.
Particular areas of research interest in the Department include:
* religion, capitalism and globalization
* religion and media
* the role of religion in the construction of European modernity
* religion, law, governance and politics
* the cultural sociology of the sacred
* the study of religious subjectivity
* material religion
* religion and childhood
* religion and critical theory
Two types of studentship funding are available. Applications can be made
through the Department for AHRC studentships awarded through the CHASE
consortium of institutions. CHASE is an exciting new initiative,
bringing together seven universities in London and the South-East of
England, who will be working together to develop innovative training
designed to help students work across disciplines and equip them for
different forms of public engagement work. In addition to their fees and
maintenance awards, CHASE students will also have access to additional
funding to support their personal research development as well as
funding support for undertaking placements related to their research
with external organizations. In addition to this, studentships funded
directly by the University of Kent will also be available. More details
on these are available at

In this funding round, the top-ranked applicant to the Department of
Religious Studies will also be offered a fourth year of maintenance
funding (subject to satisfactory progress), which would enable them to
develop publications from their research and post-doctoral funding
applications after the submission of their thesis.
Students wishing to apply for these doctoral funding schemes need to
submit their applications to the University of Kent by 31 January 2014.
It is strongly recommended, however, that applicants make contact with a
potential supervisor in the Department as soon as possible to begin
discussing their application.
