As part of its collaboration in a £1.94 million AHRC-funded project â Cultural and Scientific Perceptions of Human-Chicken Interactions â the University of Roehampton is offering five fully-funded PhD studentships (two AHRC studentships and three Roehampton Vice-Chancellorâs Studentships) in social anthropology. All studentships include payment of fees and cost of living bursaries. Each studentship will consist of an individual research topic:
However, the research for each of these individual anthropology projects will be pursued in the context of the overall project that is multi-university (Bournemouth, Nottingham, York, Durham and Leicester) and multidisciplinary (archaeology, zoöarchaeology, history, anthropology, genetics, biological sciences). Applications are invited from researchers with a strong interest in anthropological approaches to the study of human-animal relations. Applicants should hold a Masterâs degree (or equivalent) in social anthropology or a closely-related disciplinary field.
