We are inviting applications for a Hospitality Management PhD bursary in the School of Service Management at the University of Brighton (Eastbourne Campus). The successful candidate will conduct a programme of research for the degree of PhD. Candidates should have a first or upper second class Honours degree in a discipline related to their proposed research and should also hold (or be working towards) a Masters degree in a related subject. In all but exceptional cases, an MBA or similar generalist Masters in Management will not usually be considered.

The award is fees only for three years beginning in October 2012. We welcome applications in the following area:

Food Culture and the domestic kitchen
The domestic kitchen is frequently referred to as the heart of the home and in this capacity it is capable of creating, reflecting and challenging a whole range of meanings and understandings. How a kitchen is imagined, constructed and used; how it is furnished with appliances, gadgets and ephemera; how it is talked about and represented has the potential to reveal much about the social and cultural characteristics of the society in which it is located. This project will explore the cultural significance of domestic kitchen space in terms of what it can contribute to our understanding of the human condition. Project proposals should be contextualized within a theoretical framework encompassing, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies and hospitality studies.

Successful applicants will be invited to interview on the afternoon of 26th July 2012.

Funding Notes:
