INSTITUTE OF MODERN LANGUAGES RESEARCH
School of Advanced Study * University of London
Applications are invited from well-qualified students wishing to conduct research leading to the MPhil/PhD degree of the University of London in the following subject areas: French/Francophone, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin American literature, Translation studies, Cultural studies, History of ideas, Comparative studies, or Memory studies. The Institute provides first-class PhD supervision and guidance from academics who are leaders in their field, in collaboration with specialists at other institutions where appropriate. Distance-learning and part-time study options are available.
Funding opportunities exist for students intending to research into a German-related topic (Friends of Germanic Studies) and into German and Austrian exile studies (Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Trust), of which details can be found at https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/graduate-study/research-funding.
The Institute's research strength lies in the combination of the study of several language fields: French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Our academic staff specialise in literature, cultural studies, history of ideas and comparative studies: the city (especially Berlin, Trieste), borders, the body, psychoanalysis, gender and sexuality, feminism, women's writing, Jewish writing, exile writing, and children's literature.
Because of its function as a centre for academic events in European culture, the Institute has national and international contacts with researchers in its fields. The Institute is thus particularly well placed to offer supervision for projects that cross national and disciplinary boundaries.
Students have access to networks associated with the Centres for German and Austrian Exile Studies<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-centres/research-centre-german-and-austrian-exile-studies>, Contemporary Women's Writing<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-centres/centre-study-contemporary-womens-writing>, Cultural Memory<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-centres/centre-study-cultural-memory>, Quebec and French-Canadian Studies<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/centre-quebec-and-french-canadian-studies>, Ernst Bloch<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/ernst-bloch-centre-german-thought>, and Austrian Literature and Culture<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-centres/ingeborg-bachmann-centre-austrian-literature>. Supervision is available in Francophone/North African Studies through the Centre for Postcolonial Studies.
Research degrees can be completed on a full-time basis (up to four years) or on a part-time basis (up to seven years). The Institute can also offer students the opportunity to undertake their PhD by distance learning<http://www.sas.ac.uk/graduate-study/our-courses/mphilphd-programmes/distance-learning>.
Further details on MPhil/PhD study at the Institute, including supervisors can be found at https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/graduate-study/mphilphd. Candidates should first contact their supervisor of choice and discuss their project before applying. Applications close on 31 August 2019.
