Deadline: May 19, 2023
An exciting opportunity to apply for eight fully funded PhD positions in the College of Arts, Technology and Environment, UWE Bristol.
About the PhD Studentship
The College of Arts, Technology and Environment at UWE Bristol has a strong and continually evolving research environment. We submitted a significant proportion of our staff to the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) and over 75% of our submitted research was judged to be internationally excellent or of world leading quality.
They welcome PhD applications that focus on one or more of our core themes, and that align with one or more of the college’s disciplinary strengths.
Core research themes
- Creative industries/Technologies
- Digital arts/Design/Technologies
- Health and wellbeing
- Inclusivity and social justice
- Sustainability and climate change
Candidates for these PhD positions will be interviewed by a panel including the relevant school’s Associate Head for Research, members of the potential supervisory team, and a senior researcher from the school. Following this interview process, the successful candidates will be offered a studentship and unsuccessful candidates will be notified within two weeks of the interview.
Candidates who meet the criteria to study at UWE Bristol but are not offered one of the eight studentships will be offered the opportunity to consider pursuing a self-funded PhD.
They particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian, multiple heritage or other minority ethnic candidates as we are currently under-represented in these areas within UWE Bristol. However, all appointments are made strictly on individual merits.
