Three MPhil / PhD studentships in English
Applications are invited for three studentships in the Discipline of English, School of Humanities, in the following areas:

English at Southampton is an expanding and dynamic discipline area with a thriving research culture and an excellent record of research funding and we are looking for students who wish to undertake research projects, which fit in with existing large projects or with individual staff interests.
Each of the three studentships will be supported by a research centre: Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Culture; Chawton House Library; and Centre for Contemporary Writing (http://www.soton.ac.uk/english/research/researchcentres.html )
These centres provide interdisciplinary networks within and beyond the University of Southampton and promote regular seminars, colloquia and workshops. Library facilities are well-resourced and we offer excellent training in research skills.
Current large AHRC-funded research projects include The Indian Ocean: narratives in literature and law’; Records of Early English Drama, Middlesex/Westminster: Eight Theatres North of the Thames’; Writing in Tongues: Multi-languages, cultural bodies and the creation of a multi-genre poetry’ (http://www.soton.ac.uk/english/research/researchprojects.html )
Each studentship is for GBP 2000 per annum for three years. Applicants should have a good first degree; a Masters degree is desirable.
