About this position

Durham University’s Department of Sociology is offering a PhD opportunity through the NINE DTP doctoral scholarship. Nikki Rutter and Nicole Renehan are seeking to supervise projects that explore neurodivergence, lifecourse experiences, and family violence, with a particular interest in how society frames boyhood, manhood, and masculinity, and how social expectations of family can create idealised or impossible standards. The supervisors are open to new project ideas that link their respective research interests, especially those involving neurodivergent people instigating family violence. The NINE DTP has just launched, providing a scholarship for suitable candidates.

Applicants should have a strong academic background in sociology or a related field and a keen interest in the outlined topics. Interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch with the supervisors to discuss potential projects and next steps for application. Specific funding details and deadlines are not provided in the announcement.
