==================================================
KING’S ESRC STUDENTSHIPS IN LINGUISTICS and/or LANGUAGE, MEDIA & CULTURE

ESRC Studentships for September 2013 are available at King’s College London,
in the thematic area Language Media & Culture (LMC)
(http://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/school/dtc/research-themes/Theme10.aspx).
LMC is part of the King’s Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training
Centre (KISS-DTC), and it encompasses two broad pathways:
•	Language, discourse & communication (www.kcl.ac.uk/ldc), covering
text & discourse analysis, linguistic ethnography, literacy studies,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, applied, educational, cognitive and
corpus linguistics
•	Media & culture (http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/cmci/index.aspx
and http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/filmstudies/index.aspx)   
You can either apply to one or other of these areas, or you can apply with a
project that works across them.  You should have very good qualifications
and a clear research idea, and to apply, there are a number of steps to
follow:

1)	Identify a potential supervisor, referring to the relevant pathway
webpages above.  

2)	Email the person you have identified, providing detailed information
about your background, your qualifications, prior research methods training,
and a research proposal.  If after a careful look, you are unsure about who
to contact, please send the material to ben.rampton at kcl.ac.uk writing ‘ESRC
Studentship’ in the Subject. 

3)	If the person you have contacted encourages you, follow the
application procedures outlined at
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/funding/sources/esrc.aspx.   Check your
eligibility very carefully, and confer with your potential supervisor if
you’re unclear whether your project qualifies for funding from the ESRC
rather than the Arts & Humanities Research Council (see
www.kcl.ac.uk/study/pg/funding/sources/ESRCsubjectguide.pdf )

4)	As well as writing your studentship application – the ‘Case for
Support’ – you need to apply for an ordinary/non-funded doctoral place
through the online admissions portal: https://myapplication.kcl.ac.uk/.
You’ll need to include a research proposal in the ordinary application, but
do note the difference between this and the Studentship Case for Support.
The CfS form asks specific questions and you can’t use more than 2 sides of
A4. 

5)	The closing data for the ESRC Studentship applications is Friday 1
February 2013, 17.00hrs.  If you’re encouraged to apply, start working on
the forms well before this deadline. You will also need to contact your
referees well in advance, to ensure that they have submitted their
references by the deadline.

If you need further advice, contact ldc at kcl.ac.uk inserting ‘ESRC
Studentships’ in the message subject
