The School of Geography and Geosciences at the University of St. Andrews has a fully funded PhD studentship available (including tuition fees for EU residents, a living stipend and research funding costs).

We are keen that this opportunity be taken up by a student with interest in developing a theoretically informed empirical project in critical health geography.

You would join our small research team which has interests in youth sexual health, HIV prevention in Scotland’s Immigrant Communities, the health needs of persons living with HIV and AIDS, as well as the politics of donation (especially organs and blood).  We would like the studentship to contribute to building links between the school and heath service and community organizations here in Scotland.

For further information, and to discuss potential research topics, please contact Matt Sothern ([log in to unmask]) or Mike Kesby ([log in to unmask]) immediately (22^nd September at the latest).  Nominationss for this internal funding must be made as soon as possible and the successful candidate will ideally start by January 2011.
