About this position

ESRC-funded PhD studentship at the University of Bedfordshire via the Cambridge Doctoral Training Partnership (CAM-DTP) on trauma-informed practices in higher education.

This doctoral opportunity is designed for applicants interested in education research, with strong links to psychology and sociology. The project is being developed in partnership with Trauma Informed Schools & Communities UK and invites theoretical or empirical proposals. The advert particularly welcomes projects that foreground co-production and intersectionality.

Possible research directions include compassionate communications in higher education, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and adverse adulthood experiences in university contexts, what it means to be a “trauma-informed university,” and the experiences of professional services and non-academic staff.

Funding includes tuition fees up to the UKRI Home fee rate, an annual tax-free stipend at the UKRI rate (£21,805 per annum in 26/27 for full-time students), up to £900 for research training, a personalised training programme, and support for a three-month placement.

Applicants should be preparing a doctoral research proposal aligned with the theme and should contact Dr. Kay Calver and Dr. Oli Belas with questions or to discuss their project ideas. The deadline stated in the post is 15 November 2026.
