50th Anniversary PhD Studentships 2013
University of Kent -Kent Law School
Kent Law School (KLS) invites applications for full time research
studentships leading to the degree of PhD commencing in September
2013. These studentships are being awarded in celebration of the
University’s 50th anniversary. The funding for these studentships will
be available for one year in the first instance, and extended for a
second and then a third year providing verifiable progress has been
made (in teaching and research).
Successful applicants for the studentships will receive a maintenance
grant equivalent to that offered by the ESRC (£13,590 in 2012/13) and
a fee grant which will fully cover tuition fees, whether paid at the
home/EU rate (£3,828 in 2012/13) or at the overseas rate (£11,625 in
2012/13). Those awarded a studentship may be expected to do some
teaching on an undergraduate law module, at the direction of the Head
of School.
Research at Kent
Kent Law School was ranked the 6th best law school in the UK in the
2008 Research Assessment Exercise. It enjoys a pluralistic
intellectual environment for research, where theoretical and empirical
work, critical legal scholarship and interdisciplinary studies all
flourish alongside traditional legal research. Research
specialisations of our staff can be found at
http://www.kent.ac.uk/law/
KLS hosts a lively postgraduate research community. Some funding is
available for PhD students, including those without studentships, to
attend conferences and present their research. Students receive
substantive research training, through a research methods module for
all first year students, and further opportunities to engage with
critical scholarship through weekly postgraduate study groups, and
several student-led reading groups.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants should normally have obtained, or be about to obtain an
undergraduate degree of at least Upper Second Class Honours level (2:1
or equivalent from other countries), or a postgraduate degree.
It would be an advantage for applicants to demonstrate how their
research will contribute to existing debates in their field, as well
as how the candidate will contribute to our vibrant postgraduate
community. We particularly welcome research proposals in socio-legal
and critical legal studies, and encourage applicants to reflect on the
methodology of their research from a theoretically informed
perspective.
