> The Department of Geography and the Sussex Centre for Migration
> Research (SCMR) in collaboration with Brighton & Hove City Council
> (BHCC) and Brighton & Hove City Teaching Primary Care Trust
> (BHCTPCT) invite applications from outstanding postgraduate
> students for an ESRC Collaborative CASE studentship to investigate
> issues of health provision for migrant populations in the City of
> Brighton and Hove. CASE studentships differ from standard PhD
> grants in offering students the opportunity for practical
> experience through collaboration with the non-academic partners, in
> this case BHCC and BHCTPCT.
>
> This research will contribute to knowledge of migrant groups in
> Brighton and Hove who encompass a wide variety of origins,
> migration histories and experiences in the UK. We are keen that
> this research develops strong participatory methods involving
> regular and sustained contact with local migrant and community
> groups, from the first year of the award. The research will explore
> a potentially wide ranging set of issues with a variety of
> quantitative and qualitative methods. Research will focus on health
> needs, access to health and perceptions and implications of good or
> poor health amongst migrant groups. It is hoped that the research
> will have a positive impact on health services in the city. Within
> this framework there is considerable flexibility for the successful
> candidate to influence the shape of the research in line with his
> or her interests and expertise.
>
> The studentship will start on October 1st 2008. It will cover
> tuition fees (at the EU rate) for a DPhil at the University of
> Sussex plus an annual stipend of £14,300. The award may be either
> under the ESRC '+3' scheme, which lasts three years and requires
> candidates to already hold an ESRC approved research training
> qualification, or the '1+3' scheme, lasting a year longer and
> including a one year MSc in Social Research Methods, for those
> without a research training qualification. In addition, candidates
> must have at least a 2.1 or the equivalent in an undergraduate
> degree in any social science discipline and they must be officially
> resident in the UK. Candidates should also have a demonstrable
> interest in working with migrants, refugees and/or in the health
> sector that will ideally include experience in one of these fields.
> We are looking for someone who will be able to engage with local
> migrant communities and, in addition to conducting excellent
> research, will help to develop existing links between the
> University, BHCC and BHCTPCT for the mutual benefit of the
> University and local communities.
>
> Please send a full CV and a covering letter stating why you are
> interested in the studentship and detailing any relevant experience
> to Julie Carr ([log in to unmask]). The deadline for
> applications is 5pm on Friday 20th June. Shortlisted candidates
> should be available for interview on Friday 4th July. If you have
> any questions concerning this studentship please contact Dr Michael
