PhD
research studentships in the Surrey Morphology Group
Surrey Morphology Group (SMG) is pleased to announce an open
competition to apply for a fully funded 3-year postgraduate research
studentship (fees and subsistence at Research Council rates) to undertake PhD
research in the School of English and Languages, University of Surrey.
Important: The
studentships will start in October 2014. Due to funding restrictions, full studentships are only
available to Home students (i.e. students
from the UK) and (other) EU students who have been resident in the
UK for 3 years on 30 September 2014. EU students who have not been resident in the UK for the 3 years
preceding the award will be entitled to a Fees Only award. Part-time studentships may be considered under certain circumstances.
Both Home and EU students have to satisfy the standard
AHRC eligibility criteria. See Annex A of the AHRC Postgraduate Funding
Guide for further details:

methodology to be used and explain why this topic is of interest to the field.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate how their
proposed research fits in with research currently undertaken within the group.
Details of our ongoing projects, past research and research outcomes are

Oliver Bond (o.bond@surrey.ac.uk).
The deadline for pre-application submission is Friday 6th December 2013. We
will notify you of the outcome by Friday 20th December.
Note that the application process will have two
further stages:
