Goldsmith’s University of London – Center for Intercultural Dialogue

Two Migrant Futures Goldsmiths Ph.D. Studentships, Goldsmiths University of London, London, UK.Deadline: 25 April 2025.

Two doctoral studentships are available for entry in 2025-26. These are fully-funded studentship that may be held on a full-time or part-time basis, pro-rata, over three years and six years and are at an equivalent rate to fully-funded UKRI studentships. They cover tuition fees and an annual stipend at the yearly UKRI rate, together with a small annual research training and support fund.

One of the two awards for entry 2025-26 will be open to eligible home applicants who identify as migrants or refugees and from racialised ethnic minority backgrounds in any field of research and practice for which supervision is available at Goldsmiths, University of London. To be clear, applicants considered for this award need not be working on a migration related topic, but they should be able to describe how their work will enhance their own economic, creative and intellectual lives and that of others.

The second of these two awards will be open to all eligible home or international applicants – irrespective of background and experience – whose proposed PhD is focused on a topic related to migration, broadly conceived, including in relation to processes of race and racialisation. Proposals must be informed by the co-production of knowledge with people and groups from migrant and refugee backgrounds, and demonstrate potential for social and cultural impact.

Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentship holders will, upon award, be designated as Fellows of the Migrant Futures Institute and will be expected to contribute to developing and enhancing the research culture of the institute through their research, creative practice and participation in MFI activities and events. Successful applicants from racialised backgrounds will also be invited to participate in the activities of Generation Delta Goldsmiths.

Two Generation Delta Goldsmiths Ph.D. Studentships, Goldsmiths, University of London, London, UK. .Deadline: 10 June 2022.

The Graduate School at Goldsmiths, University of London, is very pleased to announce the call for applications for two fully funded Generation Delta Goldsmiths Studentships, for doctoral study. This initiative builds on and contributes to the recently launched OFS / Research England project Generation Delta: Building Routes into Professorship for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women that is being led by Professor Farzana Shain and that seeks to redress barriers to access and participation in doctoral study for racialised students generally and women of colour in particular. While Generation Delta Goldsmiths Studentships are open to all eligible applicants from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds in any field of study, it is anticipated that at least one award will be made to a woman of colour who are the group most underrepresented nationally in terms of doctoral study and studentship funding. Applicants must be new or continuing doctoral students who will not have completed more than 1 year Full-time or 2 years Part-time registration by September, 2022.

NOTE: This is one part of a larger project jointly with the Universities of Leeds, Plymouth, Reading, Sheffield and Sunderland, so they have additional studentships available.
