My apologies to everyone for sending this out twice, with details of how to apply in the attachment this time!
Dear all
Due to a particular set of circumstances, an opportunity has emerged for a full-time studentship starting this September.
The Bartlett Development Planning Unit, University College London is advertising a full-time PhD Studentship under the supervision of Prof Caren Levy and Dr Grant Mills.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 15 September 2017
Fifteen years ago, you could not help but notice the absence of women in the leadership teams of important flagship projects in the UK. Five years ago, women and their colleagues started talking more about
their experiences and two years ago, the Bartlett started to provide critical reflection on large scale national project ‘systems’ - government, industry, professional bodies, project leaders - to ask the question collectively; “where are the women in major
projects leadership in the UK?” The objectives of this research are to: (1) Analyse and evaluate the current theoretical frameworks which are intended to explain the gender imbalance in major projects
leadership; (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of current organizational strategies and practices employed to improve gender balance; (3) Consolidate a ‘learning community’ through a longitudinal, participative
action research consortium with major project enterprise partners; (4) Track and monitor progress of organizational strategies through the establishment of inter-organisational learning set benchmarks, and contributing intra-organisational research insights
in order to adapt strategies over time; (5) To identify & share the most effective strategies and practices for improving gender balance in organisations, projects enterprises and the ‘whole system’.
Please submit applications to Dr Colin Marx ([log in to unmask]), Director of DPU’s PhD Programme, in the following format:
