AHRC Midlands4Cities funding for UK/EU students

The AHRC-funded Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M4C) brings together eight leading universities across the Midlands to support the professional and personal development of the next generation of arts and humanities doctoral researchers. M4C is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, University of Warwick, Coventry University, University of Leicester, De Montfort University, Nottingham Trent University and The University of Nottingham.

M4C is awarding up to 80 doctoral studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2019 through an open competition and 11 Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDA) through a linked competition with a range of partner organisations in the cultural, creative and heritage sector.

Modern Languages at Leicester: we are a research-led department with expertise in a wide range of areas in French and Francophone Studies, Italian Studies, Spanish and Latin American Studies, and Translation & Interpreting (website: Modern Languages). We are inviting applications from students whose research interests connect with our fields of expertise in:

-Cultural studies

-Literary studies and comparative literature

-Film and visual culture

-Translation and interpreting studies

-Colonial and postcolonial studies

-Gender and sexuality studies

-Migration and diaspora

-Autofiction

-Contemporary society and politics

The deadline for M4C funding applications is 14 January 2019 (noon), by which time students must have applied for a place to study and have ensured that two academic references are submitted using the Midlands4Cities online reference form.
