PhD Studentships at Goldsmiths, University of London
Bewerbungsfrist
19.12.2017
The Department of English and Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London, invites applications for October 2018 entry to our PhD programmes.
Goldsmiths, University of London, is part of the CHASE AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership (alongside Birkbeck, University of London; the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London; SOAS, University of London; the Open University; and the Universities of East Anglia, Essex, Kent and Sussex). The strongest applicants for PhD study will be invited by the Department, if they are also otherwise eligible, to apply for studentship funding.
The Department of English and Comparative Literature – one of the largest at Goldsmiths – consists of some 50 scholars and creative writers, whose work is acknowledged and cited internationally. We offer a stimulating environment for undertaking research in English (including American Literature and literary theory), Comparative Literature, World Literature; Translation; Linguistics; and Creative Writing. We welcome applications from students wishing to pursue research in any of these areas and we particularly encourage cross- and interdisciplinary research in emerging fields of study and creative practice. As well as working with scholars and writers of international standing, you will have the opportunity to play an active role in a vibrant research environment which includes the Richard Hoggart Lectures in Literature and Culture, the annual Goldsmiths Prize for bold and innovative fiction, the e-journal, GLITS-e, and specialist seminars and colloquia offered by the Goldsmiths Writers’ Centre, the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought, the Goldsmiths Literature Seminar (GLITS), and the Goldsmiths Linguistics Seminar (GoldLingS).
The Department of English and Comparative Literature promotes an understanding of the value of human culture and creativity that is central to the CHASE vision of postgraduate research and professional development. Our research and training environment encourages our doctoral students to develop interdisciplinary methodologies. In addition, our network of partnerships with leading arts and humanities organisations and creative industries provides an outstanding resource for future CHASE scholars.
Applications for funding will be considered by Goldsmiths, University of London, with the best applicants put forward to four CHASE selection panels. Applications will be considered on a competitive basis. Given the predictable intensity of the competition, potential applicants to CHASE should normally expect to have achieved First Class Honours at BA level and a Distinction at MA level. Other relevant factors, such as an exceptionally strong portfolio in the case of creative writing students, may be taken into consideration, but the above standards are otherwise a sound indication of baseline expectations.
For UK students, these awards cover both fees and maintenance and for EU residents awards are on a fees-only basis. The funding will cover professional development opportunities, including the enhancement of public engagement skills and placements with CHASE partner organisations in the UK and overseas.
To be considered for one of these awards, please note that you will need to have applied for entry to a PhD programme by Wednesday, 10 January 2018. We encourage you to contact us as early as possible to discuss your proposal. You should aim to make at least initial contact with the Department by Tuesday, 19 December 2017. Please note that the earlier your approach, the more time will be available for discussion.
