Currently, the university is offering a fully-funded 4 years master’s and Ph.D. Studentship in Politics and International Relations.
The School of Politics and International Relations at the university is eliciting expressions of interest from suitably qualified candidates for a fully-funded study programme, leading to a Ph.D. in Politics and International Relations. The department is actively seeking potential candidates who would like to develop and submit studentship proposals in the area of politics and/or international relations. There are no restrictions on the proposed topic area, but the department has identified a number of priority topic areas where a Ph.D. project would be particularly cutting-edge and aligned to the expertise at Nottingham. Some of the broader fields include International Relations, British Politics, Political Theory and Comparative Politics.
Prospective candidates should outline their own doctoral research topic. All projects must principally employ a social science methodology. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate an excellent record of academic achievement in politics and/or international relations or a related discipline and the potential to complete an original and independent research project.
The school will select one or more candidates to co-develop full applications for funding offered through the Politics and International Relations pathway of the Midlands Graduate School (MGS) Doctoral Training Partnership. The MGS is one of 14 UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs), and comprises the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. Successful applicants will join a team of Ph.D. researchers in the School of Politics and International Relations.
