The School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent is offering two project-linked ESRC PhD scholarships to conduct anthropological research on the socioeconomic consequences of the financial crisis in Greece and Portugal. The students will be supervised by Professor João de Pina-Cabral and Dr Dimitrios Theodossopoulos and participate in a ESRC funded project, entitled: Household survival in crisis: austerity and relatedness in Greece and Portugal.
The studentships cover both fees and stipends, are part of the South East Doctoral Training centre and will commence in October 2014. The full studentship is open to UK nationals or EU nationals who have been ordinarily resident in the UK through the 3-year period preceding the start of the course (including for full-time education). Applicants should also have a Master’s degree and training in Anthropology, understand and speak either Greek or Portuguese. One of the two successful candidates will conduct research in Greece, while the other will conduct research in Portugal.
