Overview
The Department of Politics is offering 3 full-time research studentships and a further shared studentship with the School of Business Management.
Research studentships include payment of tuition fees (home OR overseas) for three years and an annual stipend at the relevant research council rate. Holders of Queen Mary research studentships will receive teaching training and may be required to undertake a few hours of teaching. The research degrees begin in late September 2010.
One of the scholarships is specifically for students wanting to do research in the field of international relations, while the other two can be in any field of Politics (including International Relations). The department has particular strengths in public policy, European politics, Western Balkans and former Yugoslavia, political theory, the comparative politics of developing countries (particularly in Latin America, the Middle East and South East Asia), nationalism , and political conflict.
In addition, the department is also offering a joint scholarship with the School of Business Management.
The joint studentship will be in the area of Politics, Communication and the New Economy. We welcome applications that intend to create new knowledge on the increasingly important overlap between politics and business: potential areas will include political communications and marketing, international political economy, and relations between the state and economy. The successful applicant will be jointly supervised by both departments.
Candidates will normally be expected to have a good first degree and a Masters degree in Politics or a related subject.
