About this position
PhD Studentship in Architectural Humanities at the University of Sheffield, School of Architecture and Landscape.
This is a 3.5-year fully funded scholarship for a Home student. Funding covers home fees plus a UKRI-standard stipend (£21,805 for 2026/27, rising annually with inflation) and agreed expenses.
The project should align with the Situated Humanities Research cluster. Suitable themes include postcolonial studies of industrial landscapes or built environments, humanities-based environmental studies of spatial/landscape/urban cultures, histories of industry and migration, spatial and gendered approaches to history, gender studies of spatial practices, and feminist histories of architecture.
Applicants may use archival, theoretical, historiographic, ethnographic, creative, or practice-based methodologies. Projects can span the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries.
Application process: first send a 300-word pre-proposal to a suitable potential supervisor in the cluster. Once a supervisor agrees to support the proposal, prepare the full application (Research Project Proposal, CV, and references) and submit it via the university portal by 16 November 2026.
Initial questions can be sent to Gemma Fearnley-Cooke and Dr. Emma Cheatle by email.
