About this position

University of Glasgow is recruiting two PhD researchers for the ERC project MORTALMED, led by Marcos Andrade Neves. The project examines the social life of sodium pentobarbital and its movement across contested settings of assisted dying in Switzerland, capital punishment in the United States, and veterinary pharmaceutical markets in Mexico.

This is a research opportunity for students interested in anthropology, sociology, medical science, and related work on death-making, care, violence, punishment, and the politics of life and death. The wider project traces how a drug once used as a sedative now sits at the centre of debates about ethics, governance, and pharmaceutical circulation.

The post is based at the University of Glasgow. The page content also shows the broader College of Social Sciences PhD funding environment, including a separate fully funded doctoral studentship example with supervision from Professor Jamie Cross, Dr Mark Wong, and Professor Jeff Kettle. That funding page describes a full-time 3.5-year PhD with stipend and home-fee coverage, but the MORTALMED social post itself is primarily a recruitment call for PhD researchers rather than a standalone scholarship advertisement.

For the linked Glasgow PhD funding page, eligibility includes a good Masters degree or equivalent, a demonstrable interest in the topic, full-time study, and meeting Home/Rest of UK fee-status criteria. The funding page states that the programme commences in October 2026 and that applications are submitted through the Scholarships Application Portal.

If you are interested in the MORTALMED project, the post invites informal contact and sharing with potential applicants. The linked Glasgow page provides the formal application route and deadline information for the doctoral funding opportunity shown in the page content.
