PhD STUDENTSHIPS IN CITIZENSHIP, CIVIL SOCIETY AND RULE OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN
Deadline: 10 February 2017
The Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL) at the University of Aberdeen is delighted to offer two 3-year PhD studentships to start in September 2017. The studentships will include home/overseas fees and a full stipend of £14,539 per annum. We welcome applicants from anthropology, cultural and literary studies, history, legal theory and socio-legal studies, philosophy, politics, religious studies, sociology and theology.
Founded in 2009, CISRUL studies the application of political ideas globally. The Centre draws on expertise across disciplines to examine how political principles function within and beyond the contemporary West. Concepts such as 'citizenship', 'civil society', and the 'rule of law' are used as often by policy makers as by scholars. Core to CISRUL's mission is informing academic and public debate on how they are used, and to what effect.
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 10 February 2017 (although we may consider late applications).
