Two Funded PhD Studentships in French Studies, Aston University

Overview

The French Academic Subject Group, as part of the School of Languages and Social Sciences, invites applications for two fully-funded PhD studentships from strong candidates in research areas covered by the School. The studentships are linked to the recent appointment of a Chair in French Politics and Modern History and will be for full-time study over three years, commencing in October 2010.

Applications are particularly invited from candidates wishing to pursue research in the following fields: modern French history and politics, political institutions, parties and elections, political culture, discourse and ideology.

The French Subject Group has an internationally recognised research profile spanning French history, politics, culture and other areas of French and francophone studies. Details of the Group's activities and research areas can be found at http://www1.aston.ac.uk/lss/research/subjects/french/.

1 October 2010 start date with completion date of 30 September 2013

Financial Support

Will be provided to the successful applicants to cover the Home/EU fees rate (currently £3,390) plus a maintenance grant at the standard AHRC and ESRC rate (currently £13,290) with the corresponding standard increases in subsequent years. Applicants from outside the EU may apply for this studentship but will need to pay the difference between the 'Home/EU' and the 'Overseas' tuition fees, currently £6330.


Person Specification

The successful applicants should have a first class or good upper second class honours degree or equivalent qualification in French or European studies, politics, history, or other relevant subject area. They should have, or be near to completing, a postgraduate qualification such as a Masters or equivalent.
