ESRC STUDENTSHIPS IN CULTURE , MEDIA, & LANGUAGE AT KCL 2011


ESRC Studentships for September 2011 are available at King?s College London, in the

thematic area Culture ,Media & Language (LMC) (www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/school/KISSDTCSocChange.

aspx). LMC is part of the King?s Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral

Training Centre, and it encompasses two broad pathways:

? Media & culture (www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/depts/cci/ and

www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/humanities/depts/film/

? Language, discourse & communication (www.kcl.ac.uk/ldc)

You can either apply to one or other of these areas, or you can apply with a project that works

across them. You should have very good qualifications and a clear research idea, and to

apply, there are a number of steps to follow:


1) Identify a potential supervisor, referring to the pathway webpages above.

2) Email the person you have identified, providing detailed information about your

background, your qualifications, prior research methods training, and a research proposal.

If after a careful look, you are unsure about who to contact, please send the material to

(ben.rampton /at/ kcl.ac.uk) writing ?LMC Studentship? in the Subject.

3) If the person you have contacted encourages you, follow the application procedures

outlined at www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/funding/sources/esrc.aspx. Check your eligibility

very carefully, and confer with your potential supervisor if you?re unclear whether your

project qualifies for funding from the ESRC rather than the Arts & Humanities Research

Council (see www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/funding/sources/ESRCsubjectguide.pdf )

4) As well as writing your studentship application ? the ?Case for Support? ? you need to

apply for an ordinary/non-funded doctoral place through the online admissions portal:

https://myapplication.kcl.ac.uk/. You?ll need to include a research proposal in the

ordinary application, but do note the difference between this and the Studentship Case for

Support. The CfS form asks specific questions and you can?t use more than 4000

characters (inc. spaces).


The closing data for the ESRC Studentship applications is Monday 21 March 2011, 12.00

midday. If you?re encouraged to apply, start working on the forms well before this deadline.

You will also need to contact your referees well in advance, to ensure that they have

submitted their references by the deadline.
