As part of its collaboration in a Â£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:

Chicken cultures and Masculinities in Cuba (AHRCÂ Studentship)
Women and Chicken Husbandry in Ethiopia (AHRC Studentship)
Amateur Chicken-Keeping in Modern Britain (Roehampton Studentship)
Pedigree Chicken Breeding, Display and Exhibition (Roehampton Studentship)
Chickens in Religious Cosmologies and Practices (Roehampton Studentship)

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, zoÃ¶archaeology, 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.

Applicants for the AHRC Studentships (fees and bursary) should check their eligibility by going to the AHRC website:
