Funding Notes
There is a single ERC-Department studentship available for this project. The studentship would be 3 years duration in the first instance, with the possibility of extension to 4 years. It includes fees at the home rate, stipend, travel and research funds, and is available to UK and overseas students; the studentship does not cover the difference between the home and overseas fee rates.
Please only apply via https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate. Do not send us your CV via email.
