Applications are invited for four ESRC Quota Studentships to commence in October 2010. The awards may be for '1+3', or '+3' for candidates who already hold an ESRC recognised Masters degree. Successful applicants for a '1+3' award will take an initial year of research training by doing the MSc in Social Research Methods, the MSc in Criminology, Criminal Justice and Social Research, or the part-time MSc in Social Research.
The Department was ranked joint 6th out of all UK Sociology departments in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise: this ranking recognises the excellence of its research and its research environment, a vital component of which is its thriving doctoral programme.
Proposals are encouraged in any of the areas in which the Department has expertise which include:
• ageing, gender and the lifecourse
• computer simulation of social processes
• culture and identity
• deviance and criminology
• media and communications
• methodology (including development of quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods)
•privacy and surveillance
•race and ethnicity
•science and technology studies
•social aspects of health and illness
•sociology of childhood
•sociology of sleep
•sociology of the environment
•youth and popular culture
ESRC full studentships are open to UK residents, EU nationals who have lived in the UK for at least 3 years immediately prior to the award, or non-EU nationals who have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years immediately prior to the award for purposes other than education. Maintenance grants for all studentships are worth £13,290 per annum (the rate in 2009-10) and do not attract income tax or national insurance. PhD students also have the opportunity, and are encouraged, to undertake some paid undergraduate teaching in the department.
Applicants whose proposals have a strong quantitative focus and wish to gain additional training in advanced quantitative methods, which could include social simulation, will be eligible to apply for an additional ESRC annual stipend of £3,000.
