Research Studentships in Spanish at the University of Southampton

Two Research Studentships will be available in Modern Languages
(Spanish Section), School of Humanities, at the University of
Southampton. They will be for a fixed period of up to 3 years
from September 2007, subject to satisfactory annual reports. The
successful candidates will receive an annual grant of £12,300
(subject to annual review in line with AHRC awards) to carry out
postgraduate research on a topic in Hispanic Studies. Fees will
be waived throughout the 3-year period. You will be expected to
teach up to 6 hours Spanish language per week in term time.

Modern Languages at Southampton is one of the leading research
departments in the UK and was awarded the highest grade (5*) in
the 2001 RAE. The department has particular research strengths in
linguistics, social and political studies, and literary and
cultural studies in English, German, French, Portuguese and
Spanish. The emphasis in research and teaching is on
interdisciplinarity, and research activities are focused on two
Research Centres: the Centre for Transnational Studies and the
Centre for Applied Language Research. Both Centres run Masters
programmes from which it will be possible to take individual
modules. There are also close links to the School of Humanities’
Parkes Centre for Jewish and Non-Jewish Relations, which provides
opportunities for contact with scholars and students in History
and English Literature (for information on all 3 Centres, see
http://www.lang.soton.ac.uk/research/centres.html). In addition,
extensive opportunities for wider contacts, academic exchange and
research training are provided by the Graduate School of the
Faculty of Law, Arts and Social Sciences
(www.lass.soton.ac.uk/research/graduate_school). Both the School
of Humanities and the Faculty Graduate School organise annual
conferences, which provide postgraduate students with a platform
for their research projects.

Further information on Modern Languages can be found on the ML
website: http://www.lang.soton.ac.uk.

Good first degree in a relevant area and normally an MA or
equivalent; native or near-native proficiency in Spanish, as well
