The Department of Humanities is delighted to invite applications for 15 University-funded Studentships. The Postgraduate Research Studentships are being awarded in the disciplines of History, and  Creative Writing, English Literature and Linguistics. Successful candidates will be awarded a full fee waiver (home and EU students only) and £5,000 per annum bursary for three years (all students, including international), to commence in September 2010.

The PhD Studentships have been designed to provide students with:
  • High quality supervision from experts in their field
  • Access to a programme of high-quality employability training
  • Involvement in a vibrant research culture within the Department.
Successful applicants will receive:
  • A full fee waiver (home and EU students only)
  • £5K per annum bursary for 3 years (all students, including international)
  • A 30-hour teaching preparation course involving teaching practice and shadowing of experienced staff
  • Guaranteed teaching hours in years 2 and 3 of the programme
  • A dedicated work station within a good quality working environment
  • Access to funds to support research expenses (conferences or library visits).
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 +44 (0) 191 227 3880) for further particulars and the relevant application form.

The closing date for applications is 18 March 2010.
