Dear all,
The following ESRC-funded PhD opportunity at Aberystwyth, co-supervised between the Department of Geography and Earth Science and the Department of International Politics, may be of interest.
ESRC Wales DTP Collaborative Studentship – fixed project on ‘Policies and Discourses of Migration in a Devolved Wales’
The studentship will focus on policies and discourses of migration in Wales. It aims to understand how discourses of migration shape policy reactions, developing a greater appreciation of how the migration field is governed, and the challenges and limitations of policy and practice relating to asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Wales and the UK. The studentship will prioritise knowledge exchange, and will collaborate with the Welsh Strategic Migration Partnership, Wales’ main advisory and consultative body on migration. A short documentary on migration in Wales will be created at the end of the project with support from Welsh media company, Telesgop.
Welsh Language skills are desirable but not essential for this studentship.
Collaborative studentships involve liaison with a non-academic organisation, often at many key stages of the research programme. This studentship is offered on either a 1+3 or +3 basis and will commence in October 2017.
Application deadline: 1 February 2017
