UNIVERSITY OF HULL
TWO COLLABORATIVE ESRC STUDENTSHIPS AVAILABLE
The Department of Geography (RAE 4A) seeks well-qualified
candidates to apply for the following two fully-funded ESRC
case studentships:
Environmental Issues and Food Sector SMEs in Yorkshire and
the Humber
The project is a collaboration between the University of
Hull (Professor David Gibbs and Dr. Sally Eden) and the
Environment Agency (Dr. Tony Edwards, Ridings Area
Manager). The project aims to: establish the level of
understanding of, and compliance with, environmental
regulation amongst food sector SMEs; evaluate the drivers
of environmental performance; analyse the intercompany
relationships underlying environmental awareness and
performance, through examining the processes of
organisational learning and supply-chain influence
prevalent in this sector and region.
Globalisation, Competitiveness and Business Response:
Experiences in the Humberside sub-region.
This studentship is a collaboration between the University
of Hull (Professor David Gibbs and Dr. Andy Jonas) and
Humberside Training and Enterprise Council. The
studentship will investigate how Humberside’s unique
attributes shape the globalisation process locally and the
types of competitive strategies pursued by firms. These
competitive strategies will be evaluated through in-depth
analysis of a sample of locally-based and non-locally based
firms in the food and chemicals sectors
Studentship and Application Details
Applicants should have a good first degree or Master’s
degree in a relevant discipline. Both studentships
involve time working with the non-academic collaborating
partners - for the Environment Agency, this will be in Hull
and Leeds, for Humberside TEC in Hull - this will enable
access to databases and library facilities. In addition to
the standard ESRC annuial award of £6,455, each studentship
will receive an additional £1,350 per annum.
