[ecrea] ESRC PhD studentship - internet-mediated environmental politics in China at Swansea

We are delighted to announce that the application process for the new 
ESRC PhD Studentship at Swansea University is now open.



Swansea University College of Arts and Humanities, in association with 
the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), invites applications 
for a 1+3 year PhD studentship in the area of Internet-mediated 
political mobilization in China: the case of environmental politics. The 
successful applicant will spend an initial year developing their 
research and language skills before completing the PhD over the 
following three year period. The three year PhD will include further 
language training in Beijing and fieldwork from a base in Hong Kong. The 
student will also be required to participate in training events 
organised by the ESRC Wales Doctoral Training Centre, especially events 
associated with the Language-Based Area Studies pathway. The research 
will be supervised by Dr Gerard Clarke and Dr Yan Wu.



The full studentship covers the cost of UK/EU tuition fees, plus a 
tax-free stipend at RCUK levels (currently £13,863.p.a.).

An additional £750 per annum Research Training Support Grant will be 
available in the doctoral phase.



The deadline for applications is Sunday 1st March 2015. Candidates are 
expected to have at least an upper second class honours degree in a 
relevant subject.
