PhD Studentships at the North West Doctoral Training Centre The North West Doctoral Training Centre (NWDTC) is one of 21 ESRC-funded doctoral training centres in social sciences in the UK. Liverpool, Manchester and Lancaster, the members of the NWDTC, are guaranteed a total of 63 new PhD studentships each year to support research and training at doctoral level. Studentships are available across the full range of social science disciplines including social statistics / demography. A minimum of ten annual studentships are allocated to PhD projects researching or applying advanced quantitative methods (AQM). Students with a first class undergraduate or master’s degree in social sciences or statistics / mathematics who are interested to pursue postgraduate research in any area of population studies / demography and willing to learn and apply advanced quantitative methods in their research are encouraged to send their CV and a brief description of their research project (max 2,000 words) to Dr. Hill Kulu ([email protected]) by 20th December 2013. (Please include ‘NWDTC studentship’ in the subject line of your email.) The deadline for PhD studentship applications to the NWDTC is 3rd February 2014. Candidates will be informed about the outcome of their applications by the end of March 2014 and successful applicants are expected to start their PhD studies in October 2014. A full PhD award for projects using AQM provides: 1) payment of approved tuition fees to the relevant institution; 2) a maintenance grant of £16,863 per year; and 3) a research training support grant. Overseas and EU students using AQM in their PhD projects are eligible for a full award.
