<BR>
King’s 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.<BR>
<BR>
Applicants will need to fill in the forms <B>in consultation with a prospective supervisor</B> - someone identified as having relevant research interests. If they don’t already know us, we’re asking applicants to consult the webpages at www.kcl.ac.uk/hums/ling <a href="http://www.kcl.ac.uk/hums/ling"><http://www.kcl.ac.uk/hums/ling></a> 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. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>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<BR>
</B>This must be done by the 7 April 2006, though they <U>don’t</U> 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.<BR>
<BR>
If you’d like further advice either on the process or on specific applications, please don’t hesitate to contact me at ben.rampton@kcl.ac.uk <a href="mailto:ben.rampton@kcl.ac.uk"><mailto:ben.rampton@kcl.ac.uk></a> (<U>not</U> the current benrampton1@aol.com <a href="mailto:benrampton1@aol.com"><mailto:benrampton1@aol.com></a> which I’m not likely to reply to).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<B>* Please note – the attached application is NOT the same as the application form available on the College webpage where these studentships are advertised. </B>For this LDC studentship, the College’s generic form has been revised to bring it closer into line with Research Council requirements. To obtain the LDC studentship form, contact dave.flatman@kcl.ac.uk (entering ‘LDC Studentship’ in the subject). <BR>
