Funded studentships at the Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University

For 2015/16, the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University will again offer a number of funded PhD and MA studentships. Linguistics at Lancaster is part of the Economic and Social Research Council (SRC)?s North West Doctoral Training Centre, which allocates fully funded or fees-only studentships and provides extensive research training for doctoral students. For guidelines on how to apply for an ESRC studentship and for the application form, please see http://www.nwdtc.ac.uk/how-to-apply/. The deadline for applications is 2 February 2015 (5pm GMT). Important: You need to have applied for a place with us by then. The earlier we receive your application to study with us, the more time we have to make you an offer and subsequently advise you on your studentship application.

Details about the AHRC studentships and other funding opportunities that we offer will be posted here soon. In the meantime, please direct any inquiries to Veronika Koller (v.koller@lancaster.ac.uk<mailto:v.koller@lancaster.ac.uk>).
