Culture, Loughborough University Reference GSRC2015*

The Centre for Research in Communication and Culture (CRCC) at
Loughborough invites applications for a funded PhD studentship to start
in January 2015 (or as soon thereafter as possible).

Loughborough University has an outstanding international reputation for
its research and teaching in communication, media and cultural analysis.
In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, our submission to the D36
Unit of Assessment ‘Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library
and Information Management’ was ranked 7^th / 67 according to Grade
Point Average and 2^nd in both Research Power and Research Intensity. In
October 2015, the QS World rankings rated the university among the top
50 Universities in the world for Communication and Media Studies, for
the fourth year in succession.

The Centre is particularly well-known for world-leading research in:

  * Social Interaction, Conversation Analysis and Social Psychology;
  * Political Communication;
  * Social, Cultural and Media Theory;
  * Migration and Nationalism;
  * Media and Communication History.

*Funding and eligibility*

The studentship is open to all graduates with backgrounds in relevant
disciplines and who are articulate, well qualified and highly motivated.
The minimum entry qualification is a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent.
The studentship is for three years and will cover tuition fees at the
UK/EU rate and an annual stipend of £14,057 (standard RCUK rate 2015/16
academic year). International (non-EU) students may apply but will need
to find the difference in fees between those for a ‘UK/EU’ and
‘international’ student themselves. **
