Fully funded PhD Studentships

New Media and Political Change
Institute for Social Change

The Institute for Social Change has three fully funded PhD studentships
commencing in 2009, covering fees and an annual maintenance stipend of
?11,800.

The Institute for Social Change is an interdisciplinary research centre
in the School of Social Sciences that offers an outstanding environment
in which to study for a PhD. Sociological research at the University of
Manchester was ranked joint first in the 2008 UK Research Assessment
Exercise, producing the highest proportion of ?world leading' research
of any UK institution. PhD students will have the opportunity to apply
for places on the prestigious Harvard-Manchester graduate summer
programme, and may be able to spend time at Harvard in the course of
their research project.

We welcome proposals from outstanding candidates for empirical research
projects into the causes and consequences of change in contemporary
societies, particularly in the areas of inequality, immigration,
religion, the workplace and civic engagement.

We are particularly keen to fund projects in New Media and Political
Change - how new forms of digital communication may be changing the
nature of citizen participation and political organisations' structure
and functions.

To discuss your proposal, contact the head of postgraduate research,
Professor David Voas (voas at manchester.ac.uk)
