About this position

PhD Opportunity

The University of Exeter’s Department of Management is inviting applications for a PhD studentship funded by the Isles of Scilly Community Venture CIC to commence on 22 September 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. For eligible students the studentship will cover Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend of at least £20780 for 3 ½ years full-time. The student would be based in Sustainable Futures, Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy at the Penryn Campus in Cornwall.
This project will use a mixed methods approach to assess the short- and long-term activities, outputs, outcomes and impact of the Isles of Scilly Community Research Network (CRN) , designed to support research that is locally led, co-designed, innovative and community-driven.
This fully-funded PhD studentship offers a unique opportunity to conduct a longitudinal, in-depth study of the CRN, a community-based gateway for residents and organisations to bring forward ideas for research that are pertinent to their communities, and more widely exploring the CRN approach to create new knowledge at individual, organisational, and system levels. The project will also explore the value of transdisciplinary research approaches and knowledge creation, where academic, civic, and policy actors collaborate to co-produce knowledge and solutions.
