The School of Health and Social Care at the University of Lincoln, UK, is offering a fully-funded PhD studentship under the supervision of Dr Michael Rasell and Dr Leslie Hicks. The successful candidate will examine international diversity in the well-being of children and young people.
The project should either investigate a particular rights issue in young people’s lives or focus on community/state interventions for children and young people. The study can be approached as cross-national research or a focused study of a single country, depending on student preference. Geographic focus should be either Europe (including CIS) or the Global South. Proposals involving qualitative methods are particularly welcome, for example visual methods, ethnography, participatory or action research. The age of children and young people in the study can range from 0-21 years old.
Applications are encouraged from candidates who hold a Master-level qualification (ideally with Merit or Distinction) in sociology, anthropology, social work, development studies, childhood studies, social research or related fields. Experience of working with children and/or international social welfare will be highly valued.
This fully-funded PhD studentship is available for start in September/October 2015. It will cover UK/EU fees and provide an annual stipend set at RCUK levels (£14,057 for 2015/16) plus an annual research budget of £2,000. The duration of the studentship is 3.5 years full-time.
This studentship is open to well-qualified candidates from around the world. International (non-EU) would be required to fund the difference between UK/EU and international tuition fees.
Deadline for expressions of interest is 4pm on 13th March 2015. Further details are available at http://lincoln.ac.uk/studentships (scroll down to the studentship “Child well-being and international contexts”).
