About this position

This is a 3.5-year fully funded PhD for a Home student. Funding includes home tuition fees, a living allowance stipend at the UKRI Standard Minimum Stipend rate (£21,805 for 2026/27, rising annually with inflation), and additional expenses to be agreed.
The project should align with the Situated Humanities Research cluster. Suggested themes include postcolonial studies of industrial landscapes or built environments; humanities-based environmental studies of spatial, landscape, or urban cultures; histories of industry, migration, and urban settlements; spatial and gendered approaches to history; gender studies of spatial practices and environments; and feminist histories of architecture.
Applicants may use archival, theoretical, historiographic, ethnographic, and creative or practice-based methodologies. Projects can span the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries.
To apply, first send a 300-word research pre-proposal to a suitable potential supervisor in the Situated Humanities research cluster. Once a supervisor agrees to support the proposal, submit the full application via the University portal by 16 November 2026. The opportunity is full-time and in-person; online study is not accepted, though part-time applications may be considered.
Initial questions on scope can be directed to Gemma Fearnley-Cooke and Dr. Emma Cheatle at the emails listed in the post.
