The School of Contemporary Chinese Studies,

(DTC), invites applications for a fully funded PhD studentship in 2015
(1+3 or +3 awards) within Language Based Area Studies. The School is
recognised as a national leader in the provision of high quality,
discipline-based research and degree programmes on contemporary China
with excellent research training and the opportunity to be part of a
vibrant research community. Proposals are invited in any of the
following areas in the study of China:

• Foreign policy and external relations
• Political economy
• National Security and defence
• Society and social policies
• Culture, literature, the media, and social media
• Science, technology and innovation
• Modern and contemporary history
• Politics of Taiwan and Hong Kong
• Law and the judiciary
Interdisciplinary research proposals are also welcome and those interested in applying are encouraged to approach individual staff members to ascertain if their proposed research fit in with the supervisory capacity at the School.
Funding
This studentship is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and includes full UK/EU tuition fees, plus a doctoral stipend matching UK Research Council National Minimum (£13,863 p.a. for 2014/15, updated each year) for applicants who are UK citizens or meet the UK residency requirement. UK Research Council conditions apply. Applicants are required to provide evidence of significant and appropriate research training, normally through the attainment of a previous masters qualification, in order to apply directly to the PhD programme (+3 route).
