The English Department at the University of Hull invites high-quality proposals from applicants for an AHRC-funded PhD studentship tenable for three years from 1 October 2013. The award, which was made to a consortium bid from the Universities of Hull and Huddersfield, will be held at Hull, with optional access to facilities and research support at Huddersfield.
Applicants, who should hold at least a good undergraduate, and preferably a Master’s qualification (or be completing their programme), may offer a proposal from any area of English literature from the medieval to the contemporary. We would, however, particularly welcome proposals which correspond with the department’s research concentration in the areas of Medieval/Early Modern, Victorian, or Twentieth-century literature.
How to Apply
Applicants must ensure they meet the AHRC’s eligibility criteria: (http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/FundingOpportunities/Documents/GuidetoStudentFunding.pdf)
