The following details information about a studentship in the new Language,

be an attachment to the email but the system will not accept attachments.
The attachment contains the application for the studentship. If interested,
please contact, Jill Hohenstein (jill.hohenstein at kcl.ac.uk) for a copy of
the application form.

Please note that applications for students interested in investigating
language acquisition and cognitive development as related to language

Dear colleague
 
King¹s College London is offering a three year full-time doctoral
studentship in language, discourse and communication (sociolinguistics, text
linguistics, discourse analysis, literacy studies, educational linguistics,
and cognitive/psycho-linguistics).  This has now been advertised on the
College website and the closing date is Friday 7 April 2006.  The
studentship involves a stipend of £14,300 in the first year (increasing in
line with national levels subsequently) and a Home/EU fees waiver).  The
successful candidate will be affiliated to our new Centre, but based in the
same department as their principal supervisor.
 
Applicants will need to fill in the forms in consultation with a prospective
supervisor - someone identified as having relevant research interests.  If
they don¹t already know us, we¹re asking applicants to consult the webpages
at www.kcl.ac.uk/hums/ling <http://www.kcl.ac.uk/hums/ling>  to identify a
potential supervisor, and to contact him/her as soon as possible with a
first draft research proposal and an account of their qualifications and
experience.  
 

 
Prospective students will need to apply for an ordinary MPhil/PhD place on
the standard form in addition to filling out the special centre application
This must be done by the 7 April 2006, though they don¹t have to have been
offered a place by the deadline.  Successful candidates will be affiliated
with the centre but based in the department of their supervisor.
 
If you¹d like further advice either on the process or on specific
applications, please don¹t hesitate to contact me at ben.rampton at kcl.ac.uk
<mailto:ben.rampton at kcl.ac.uk>  (not the current benrampton1 at aol.com
<mailto:benrampton1 at aol.com>  which I¹m not likely to reply to).

 
* Please note ­ the attached application is NOT the same as the application
form available on the College webpage where these studentships are
advertised.  For this LDC studentship, the College¹s generic form has been
revised to bring it closer into line with Research Council requirements.  To
obtain the LDC studentship form, contact dave.flatman at kcl.ac.uk (entering
ŒLDC Studentship¹ in the subject).
