Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
This +3 studentship is part of a UK-wide large-scale doctoral programme associated with the new UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Arts & Humanities Research Council. The new Centre is led by the University of Glasgow and will be a five year programme with a strong emphasis on capacity building and supporting early career researchers. All of the PhDs will have non-academic partners as well as academic supervisers.
Description
The PhD studentship holder will conduct a mixed-methods study, focusing on a small number of neighbourhoods in the UK that have been characterised by persistent deprivation over many decades.
The broad aims are to examine the impact that living in these areas has on people’s lives over the long term, mainly using biographical approaches, and to understand better why the neighbourhoods have apparently been so resistant to successive regimes of regeneration.
The ideal candidate would hold a Masters degree in an urban studies-related social science subject such as housing or town planning, or in social and/or economic history, or in another relevant social science.
Glasgow city council will act as non-academic partner on this studentship.
