LISS ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership – Social Science PhD Studentships – Apply Now

ESRC London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership offers fully-funded Social Science PhD Studentships – Apply Now

Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) LISS Doctoral Training Partnership is led by King’s College London with partners Imperial College London and Queen Mary University of London

The LISS DTP competition for October 2022 entry is now open, with 58 studentships available. LISS DTP invites applications for four year (1+3) studentships for candidates for a Masters’ degree leading to a PhD, and for three year (+3) doctoral studentships (PhD only) at one of the LISS DTP institutions: King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London or Imperial College London. Part-time studentships are also available.

We welcome applications in the following areas:

  • any of LISS DTP’s 13 Thematic Pathways covering the range of social science disciplines and methodologies.
  • Project proposals using advanced quantitative methods.
  • Projects using interdisciplinary approaches and perspectives.

Eligibility

Our goal is to recruit outstanding and diverse candidates across the full range of studentships.

We welcome applications from UK and International (including EU) students. We particularly invite applications from UK students from a BAME background who are currently under-represented in our DTP. See more info about eligibility requirements on the LISS DTP website.

Current PhD students in one of the partner institutions who are in their first year of doctoral study (or second year of study if you are a part-time student), are also eligible to apply for LISS studentship to cover the remainder of their study time from October 2022.

The Studentship

The studentship will cover UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Home fees for a Masters’ and/or PhD programme, and an annual stipend valued at approximately £17,609 (in 2021/22). The ESRC will only fund the UKRI Home fee, but LISS DTP institutions will fund the fee difference for a limited number of International students. As part of your award, you will be able to access additional funding to help cover some of the costs of training, fieldwork, travel and more.

The “Advanced Research Opportunities Program (AROP)” offers a travel grant of 1.000€ (lump sum) and a monthly stipend of 1.800€ for a period of up to 6 months.
The goal of the program is to strengthen and intensify bilateral relations between RWTH Aachen University and international universities and research institutions of strategic relevance. Among other purposes, the research stays may be used to prepare joint research projects and publications, initiate joint projects in the field of capacity building, develop teaching projects at the partner university, and organize future visits and student exchange programs.
