Doctoral studentships in Humanities at University of Brighton

The School of Humanities at the University of Brighton is currently inviting applications for fully-funded doctoral studentships (stipend and fee waiver) to join our PhD programme in Humanities, embracing single-disciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research in Cultural Studies, History, Philosophy, and Politics. We particularly welcome proposals addressing:

(a) the nature, structure and scope of violent conflict including the social and cultural history of modern warfare, with reference to the total wars of the 20th century, legacies and memories of warfare, truth, justice and reconciliation in ‘post-conflict’ societies;

(b) histories of identity formations such as gender, ‘race’, nation and class and the role of cultural memory in these formations;

(c) colonial and postcolonial cultural and social history with reference to the histories and legacies of transatlantic slavery, forms of migration, diasporic identity, the anglophone Caribbean, the Black Atlantic, and 20th century US cultural history, especially histories of 'race' and Civil Rights;

(d) political philosophy, moral philosophy, applied philosophy and contemporary critical theory, including neoliberalism; the politics of inequality and applied ethics.


Application should be made to the Doctoral Centre in the College of Arts and Humanities which offers AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) funded studentships through TECHNE, a cross-university Doctoral Training Partnership. The Doctoral Centre is also able to award some University-funded studentships.

Potential applicants are advised to identify a potential supervisor to work with in formulating their application, and to ensure that the ‘fit’ between the proposed project and the research context and environment at the University of Brighton is clearly articulated.


The deadline for applications to study at the University of Brighton is 4pm, 23 January 2015. The final TECHNE deadline is 7 February 2015.
