The School of Management & Business at King’s College London invites applications for a series of funded, full-time PhD studentships to start in the 2016-17 academic year.
PhD students who want to pursue a critical approach to any topic in the sociology of work and organizations, labor markets or comparative political economy. Any interested students can contact Dr Matt Vidal directly: matt.vidal [at] kcl.ac.uk
The School is one of the leading management and business schools in the UK and has an outstanding reputation for the quality of its research and teaching. It is ranked 10th out of 118 management departments in the Guardian League Tables 2016 and is listed in the top 10 for research output in Business & Management in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework.
Funding
The studentship is for three years and will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate, as well as an annual stipend of £16,296 to contribute to living costs. In order to prepare students for academic careers, individuals receiving a studentship will be expected to undertake some teaching and/or marking activities in the School. Any teaching undertaken will attract payment in addition to the stipend.
Eligibility
All full-time students applying for 2016/17 entry (September or January entry point) are eligible. Please note that international (non-EU) students are eligible, but will need to fund the difference in fees between the ‘Home/EU’ and ‘international’ rate themselves.
Application process
The closing date for application is: 21st March 2016.
