NuAcT PhD Studentship now accepting applicants
Award Summary
The studentship will cover 100% of home tuition fees and provide an annual stipend of £18,622 (FTE) for 3 years, in addition to a research expenses allowance. Successful international candidates will need to be able to fund the difference between home fees and international tuition fees (applications can be made to the university NUORS scheme for assistance, but it is competitive and cannot be guaranteed).

- Cultural history and literature/text
- Cultural divides by class, gender, origins, age…

The successful candidate will be expected to focus primarily on long nineteenth-century Paris (1789-1914), but proposals with a broader chronological and/or geographical focus will also be considered. Please note that all doctoral candidates are co-supervised, and a suitable second supervisor will be selected depending on the particular focus of the successful candidate’s project.
The application closing date is 10 April 2024.
