Cardiff University ESRC-funded PhD Studentships in City and Regional Planning
28th March 2011
Having won a coveted place in the national network of training centres
accredited by the ESRC, the Wales Doctoral Training Centre (Wales-DTC) is
awarding a number of ESRC-funded postgraduate research studentships to
support doctoral research and training at the Cardiff School of City and
Regional Planning.
Up to five ESRC funded PhD Studentships are available for the 2011/12
academic year. Awards are available on either a 1+3 or +3 basis. A 1+3
studentship provides funding for four years, the first year for taking an
MSc, followed by 3 years funding for a PhD. A +3 studentship provides
funding for the three years only, and assumes that the applicant will
already have had research training from an ESRC Research Training
recognised MSc degree.
Applications are invited from planners, human geographers and other social
and environmental scientists. Preference will be given to applicants whose
proposed research connects with the priority research themes of the
School’s five research groups:
- Environment, Society and Space
- Housing
- Spatial Analysis
- Spatial Planning and City Environments
- Urban and Regional Governance
Deadline for applications: 11 April 2011
