We are pleased to be able to offer a fully funded PhD studentship attached to the ‘Welfare State Futures Project’. The studentship is part of the cross-national €1.5m NORFACE research project WelfSOC working alongside Kent’s Professor Peter Taylor-Gooby, Dr Heejung Chung and Dr Benjamin Leruth.
The successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to work as part of a team on a major international project contributing to theoretical work on the main cleavages and solidarities driving social policy in different European welfare states. It will supply new findings relevant to the politics and sociology of welfare and provide data for reanalysis and as a base-line in future studies. It is one of 14 funded as part of the €18m Norface Welfare State Futures Initiative and is led by the UK team.
