PhD STUDENTSHIPS IN CITIZENSHIP, CIVIL SOCIETY AND RULE OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN
Deadline: 13 April 2015
The Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL) will offer one or more inter-disciplinary 3-year PhD studentships to start in September 2015. The studentships will include fees and partial maintenance. We welcome applicants from anthropology, business, cultural and literary studies, history, legal theory and socio-legal studies, philosophy, politics, religious studies, sociology and theology.
Founded in 2009, CISRUL aims to produce conversation across the social sciences and humanities on key concepts of the modern polity. Citizenship, civil society and rule of law are three such key concepts, all three of some pedigree but enjoying a new lease of life, prescribed by bodies such as IMF and United Nations, championed by social movements, and debated in the media and in academic research, although we are also interested in related notions such as democracy, human rights, multiculturalism and pluralism.
Note that applicants must hold or be close to completing a postgraduate Masters degree in a relevant field. The holders will reside in Aberdeen during the studentship period, except for periods of research and conference travel.
The deadline for full consideration of applications is 13 April 2015 (although we may consider late applications).
