ESRC PhD Studentships in Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies, 2010-2011

The School of Law of The University of Manchester invites applications from suitably qualified candidates for two ESRC quota award PhD studentships (on either 1+3 or +3 basis) in Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies. The awards cover the costs of University tuition fees, along with a full annual stipend (approximately £13,000 for 2010-2011, which is not subject to income tax or National Insurance deductions).

Further information about the School is available at: www.law.manchester.ac.uk

These studentships are for UK and EU applicants who fulfil residency requirements and who have a first class or upper second class degree or equivalent, as a minimum academic requirement.

Applicants should express an interest as early as possible in the admissions process. Informal enquiries can be made to Jon Shute, Director of Doctoral Studies in Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies (jon.shute@manchester.ac.uk).

To make a firm application initially you just need to notify the School's Postgraduate Administrator, Mr. Stephen Wadsworth, by e-mail that you wish to be considered for an award (stephen.wadsworth@manchester.ac.uk).

The deadline for you to confirm your desire to be considered for a studentship is Friday, 19th March 2010. A full application for a place on the School's PhD programme will need to have been made by this date (or ideally, a week prior to this date).

Further information concerning these studentships and the application process can be found on the following webpage from The School of Law website: http://www.law.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/funding/index.html
