> Six PhD Studentships
>
>
> Six doctoral studentships, starting September 2008, are on offer as
> part of an ESRC Large Grant: Conflict in cities and the contested
> state: Everyday life and the possibilities for transformation in
> Belfast, Jerusalem and Other Divided Cities. Overseas, EU and UK
> students, with or without a Masters degree, are all eligible to apply.
>
> The project focuses on divided cities as key sites in territorial
> conflicts over state and national identities. It analyses how
> everyday life in divided cities in Europe and the Middle East have
> been shaped by such conflicts; and conversely, how the cities can
> potentially transform these conflicts.
>
> The empirical focus of the studentships will not be on Belfast or
> Jerusalem but on other similarly divided cities, such as Brussels,
> Mostar, Nicosia, Beirut or Kirkuk.
>
> The Conflict in Cities Graduate Programme is based in the three
> project universities, with two studentships in each: Cambridge
> (Architecture, Urbanism) directed by Dr. Wendy Pullan, Exeter
> (Politics and International Relations) directed by Prof. Mick
> Dumper, and Queen's Belfast (Sociology) directed by Prof. Liam
> O'Dowd. Applicants from related disciplines, such as Human
> Geography and Urban Studies, will be considered.
>
> Students will have the benefits of being part of a large, multi-
> disciplinary project. Their programme includes Graduate Workshops,
> visits to Belfast and Jerusalem, meetings with local experts and
> assistance from project partners in the relevant cities. Students
> can also attend annual Project Workshops and an International
> Conference in September 2011.
>
> Deadline for Applications: 15 January 2008. For further details,
> see the project website: www.conflictincities.org >
