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.
