To mark its 150th Anniversary, Oxford Brookes University is pleased to offer
a number of full-time PhD Studentships across a range of subject areas in
the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, starting in January 2015.
Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship in State-building, regime
building and nation-building in the post-Soviet space. The supervisory team
will be led by Dr Sarah Whitmore, Senior Lecturer in Politics, with Dr. Rico
Isaacs (Politics) and Dr. Erik Landis (History). It is envisaged that the
project will be tackled conceptually and historically so as to explain and
track these political processes involved in the post-Soviet era. Recent
events in Ukraine highlight the problems and issues at stake in these
processes but the research project is not restricted to Ukraine and is open
to a single or comparative case study across the former Soviet space. A
full project description will be provided in the application pack.
The successful candidate will receive an annual payment of £14,000 for a
maximum of three years to cover Home/EU fees (currently £3,966 per annum)
and provide a stipend towards living expenses.
As a successful applicant, you will join a supportive and research-active
Department. For more information on the Department of Social Sciences visit

completed a relevant Masters degree prior to the Studentship start date. The
Studentship holder may also be required to complete supplementary research
methods training in their first year of study. Applicants should also be
