University Belfast</b>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">A fully-funded
3-year PhD studentship is available at Queen’s University
Belfast in conjunction with the research project ‘Foreign,
Indigenous and Community Languages in the Devolved Regions of
the UK. Policy and Practice for Growth’ which is attached to the
Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Leadership
Fellowship in Modern Languages held by Professor Janice
Carruthers. The research team currently consists of the
Leadership Fellow, two postdoctoral fellows (working on
community languages and on modern foreign languages) and a
language policy consultant. More information about the project
can be found at
<a href="https://www.modernlanguagesleadershipfellow.com/">https://www.modernlanguagesleadershipfellow.com</a>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Proposals are
invited for a PhD project in the area of Modern Languages
Policy. We are particularly interested in proposals relating to
aspects of Modern Foreign Languages policy in the UK. Proposals
that incorporate an international comparator are welcome.
Applications in other Language Policy fields falling within the
remit of the project will also be considered.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The studentship
will start in September 2019 (or as soon as possible thereafter)
and will cover full fees. It will also include an annual
maintenance stipend for three years to RCUK minimum level
(£15,009 per annum). It will be supervised by Prof Janice
Carruthers and a second supervisor (choice of second supervisor
will depend on the precise topic of the project). For further
information about the studentship, please contact Prof Janice
Carruthers (<a>j.carruthers@qub.ac.uk</a>). </p>
