These prestigious awards cover:
• Direct payment of tuition fees for 3 years
• Maintenance allowance for accommodation and living expenses of around £13,863 per annum.
Please note the following points:
• The studentships are open to full-time students from the UK and abroad.
• Awards are payable in equal monthly instalments on enrolment and continued payment of the studentships is subject to satisfactory annual progression in the context of the research project to which the studentships are linked.
• The University does not expect the funding to be used for students who have already completed a substantial proportion of a PhD.
• It is not a requirement of these awards that successful award holders undertake teaching for their department. Teaching may be available and if an award holder is paid for teaching it will be in addition to the maintenance allowance.
Project Summary:
The PhDs are funded through a Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC-STATORG) awarded to Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Nicole Bolleyer. The five-year, interdisciplinary project addresses the following questions: Which regulatory frameworks are in place in 19 long-lived democracies to steer the behaviour of membership-based, voluntary organizations (e.g. parties, NGOs, interest groups, charities) (phase 1)? How do distinct regulatory frameworks affect the operation, evolution and survival of these voluntary organizations (phase 2)?
Value: £13,863 + Tuition fees for eligible students
