Could I ask you to forward this ad to any promising PG students with an interest in citizenship, civil society and/or rule of law, who already hold a Masters or are close to completing one?

PhD STUDENTSHIPS IN CITIZENSHIP, CIVIL SOCIETY AND RULE OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN

The Centre for Citizenship, Civil Society and Rule of Law (CISRUL) will offer one or more inter-disciplinary 3-year PhD studentships to start in September 2014. The studentships will include full UK/Europe fees (overseas students may have to pay the difference of £7100) and partial maintenance. The holders will reside in Aberdeen during the studentship period. We welcome applicants from anthropology, business, cultural and literary studies, history, legal theory and socio-legal studies, philosophy, politics, religious studies, sociology and theology.

Founded in 2009, CISRUL aims to produce conversation across the social sciences and humanities on key concepts of the modern polity. Citizenship, civil society and rule of law are three such key concepts, all three of some pedigree but enjoying a new lease of life, prescribed by bodies such as IMF and United Nations, championed by social movements, and debated in the media and in academic research, although we are also interested in related notions such as democracy, human rights, multiculturalism and pluralism.

Note that applicants must hold or be close to completing a postgraduate Masters degree in a relevant field.

The deadline for full consideration of applications is 7 March 2014, although we may consider late applications.

Please view www.abdn.ac.uk/cisrul for further details. For enquiries, please contact Lisa Baxter (l.ba...@abdn.ac.uk) in the first instance.

Applicants may also consider applying for a Comparative Statecraft and Constitutional Thought studentship. See http://www.abdn.ac.uk/funding/details.php?funding_id=194
