Call for candidates
We would like to announce the ESRC UBEL 2019 competition for PhD studentships<https://ubel-dtp.ac.uk/> and express our interest in working with a prospective individual towards submitting a competitive social science application in the field of dementia care in the UK for an award based at The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases (LSHTM).
The ESRC UBEL awards 40-50 grants for prospective PhD researchers at a number of London institutions, including LSHTM. Successfully UK residents would receive full fees and a stipend; EU students would only have their fees paid.
If successful, the student will have the opportunity to work closely with other social scientists at LSHTM, and be supervised by Simon Cohn and Annelieke Driessen. We are keen to attract someone who has a strong anthropology, sociology or STS first degree (and possibly Masters) who will draw on these theories and methods. We have established access to two possible research sites (carer support groups and residential care homes), which we believe would provide fascinating possibilities for ethnographic research on dementia, including rare conditions such as early-onset and Lewy body dementia.
Possible projects that might draw on these fieldsites include, but are not limited to:
- questions of home and institutional care (questions could relate to their permeability and the challenges that come about in transfers between settings)
- post-diagnosis support for people living with dementia/care service provision (questions could pertain to how social support is crafted, experienced and challenged in dementia carer support groups)
If you are interested in submitting a research proposal to this grant scheme and join our group, please send a one-side CV along with a paragraph on current and future research interests by email to Simon Cohn ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or Annelieke Driessen ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by 21st of November 2018. In collaboration with us, a preliminary application is due January, and then if it is progressed, the deadline for full applications is at the end of February 2019.
Please circulate this call to anyone who might be interested.
All the best,
Simon Cohn and Annelieke Driessen
