UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND
Centre for Social Research in Health Work and Health Care
FULL-TIME PHD STUDENTSHIPS
(INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN UNION STUDENTS)
The Centre for Social Research in Health and Health Care brings together researchers from a range of disciplines to carry out interdisciplinary research into the delivery and experience of health care, in the context of current developments in health policy and the associated restructuring of education for health professionals. Researchers associated with the Centre are drawn from a wide range of disciplines and subject areas, including Sociology, Health Policy, Nursing, Education, Pharmacy and Community Health Sciences (including General Practice, Community Psychiatry and Ageing and Disability Research). Further information about this Centre can be found at www.nottingham.ac.uk/CSRHHC.
Successful applicants will undertake doctoral research under the joint supervision staff drawn from at least two of the collaborating Schools (Sociology & Social Policy; Nursing; Education; Pharmacy; Community Health Sciences). They will be based in the School of one of their supervisors. This will normally be the School which reflects their own disciplinary/subject background. However, they will also be encouraged participate in the full range of Centre activities, including Centre seminars and workshops, and in relevant activities in partner Schools.
An individualised research training programme will be devised for each student with an emphasis on moving beyond their home discipline. This programme will reflect their prior experience and training and will equip students with the knowledge and skills required to conduct high quality research, within an appropriate time scale, and with a broad-based understanding of the research practices within a range of health, social and educational sciences. Students will have access to the modules of an interdisciplinary Master's degree in Research Methods, which is jointly delivered by the Schools collaborating in this Centre.
Full tuition fee scholarships will be offered to one full-time international research student and to one full-time European Union (non-UK) research student registering in September/October 2004. Further information and application forms for these scholarships are available from:
