Surrey Morphology Group (SMG) is pleased to announce an open competition to
apply for a fully funded 3-year postgraduate research studentship (fees and
subsistence at Research Council rates) to undertake PhD research in the
School of English and Languages, University of Surrey.

*Important: *The studentships will start in* October 2014. *Due to funding
restrictions, full studentships are only available to *Home students *(i.e.
students from the UK) and (other) *EU students who have been resident in
the UK for 3 years on 30 September 2014.* EU students who have not been

outline the key research questions for the project, discuss the methodology
to be used and explain why this topic is of interest to the field.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate how their proposed research fits in
with research currently undertaken within the group. Details of our ongoing
projects, past research and research outcomes are available from the SMG
homepage:

www.surrey.ac.uk/smg

The proposal should be no longer than 2 pages in length, including key
references.

Enquiries and proposals should be sent by email to Dr. Oliver Bond (
o.bond at surrey.ac.uk).

The deadline for pre-application submission is *Friday 6th December 2013.*We
will notify you of the outcome by Friday 20th December.


Note that the application process will have two further stages:

(1) Candidates whose proposals are most highly rated will be invited to
submit a full application to the PhD programme by 1 February 2014.

application due by 19 February 2014.

Further details will be made available to potential candidates after the
