Following the announcement that the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities (WRoCAH) has received £19m from the AHRC to establish a Doctoral Training Partnership that will create over 300 PhD studentships and join the expertise of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York, we are delighted to announce a range of AHRC-funded PhD opportunities in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures. Russian at Leeds particularly encourages applications for PhD study in subjects relating to Russia and the FSU.
 
Information about colleagues’ research interests in Russian at Leeds can be found here.
 
Colleagues in Russian also contribute to the cross-Faculty Leeds Russian Centre, whose focus is ‘Russia(n) in the Global Context.’ More information about the Leeds Russian Centre can be found here.

Applicants for an AHRC studentship must have applied for a place of study  and have discussed their funding application with their prospective School. They may only apply for AHRC funding at one of Leeds, Sheffield or York. The studentship application form and details of how to apply are only available from the WRoCAH website.
