UK: PhD Studentships in English at Northumbria University - The Department of Humanities

Overview

The Department of Humanities is delighted to invite applications for 5 fully-funded Studentships. Successful candidates will be awarded a full fee waiver (home and EU students only) and £13,000 per annum bursary for three years (all students, including international), to commence in September 2010.

Schools of study include the following areas in English:

Creative Writing

• One Creative Writing Studentship is available.

English Literature

• Renaissance Literature, including its legacy and cultural reception
• Modernist Literature and Popular Culture

Linguistics

• Empirical Linguistics
• Cognitive Linguistics (4 years)

Further Particulars and Applying:

We are looking to recruit candidates of the highest quality, with the capability of submitting excellent theses within the standard PHD duration of 3 years. You will need to demonstrate a strong performance in your first degree (probably a first) as well as a good MA qualification. We will, however, consider applicants straight from undergraduate degrees where there is evidence of exceptional academic ability. Prospective candidates from overseas should contact us concerning entry requirements.


Once you have chosen your thesis topic, please apply to gill.drinkald@northumbria.ac.uk (Telephone 0191 227 3880 0191 227 3880) for further particulars and the relevant application form.

The closing date for applications is 18 March 2010.
