PhD Studentship-Future Landscape Imaginaries, Newcastle University, UK
For this research we define a landscape imaginary as an environmental vision such, for example, would be the dream-like vision of the classical landscape that eighteenth-century landowners projected onto the British countryside.
Critical scholarship has amply demonstrated the ideological functions of such landscape imaginaries and their complex entanglement with conflictual social relations and power.
While the exact title, topic and scope of the proposed research will be a matter for discussion between candidate and supervisors, it will involve an investigation of emergent landscape imaginaries and their influence upon new forms of landscape realisation and practice.
Value of the Award and Eligibility:
The studentship attracts a bursary of £15,000 p.a. to cover fees and living costs for three years. International students are welcome to apply for this award, however, a successful non-EU applicant will therefore have a lower stipend for living costs because of their substantially higher fees.
Each studentship will carry an expectation of up to 100hrs of teaching per annum as part of the funding agreement.
Person Specification:
Application is open to anyone with a good undergraduate degree, plus a relevant second degree and a good command of spoken and written English. Applicants are expected to have a first or upper second class UK honours degree, or a degree of equivalent standard from elsewhere. The type of qualification obtained, the general standing of the institution concerned, the overall standard (eg, class) achieved and the standard achieved in any relevant subjects will be considered in the context of the intended field of study.
Applicants are invited from a wide range of backgrounds, including landscape architecture, planning, architecture, urban design, cultural studies, sociology and human geography.
How to Apply:
Applicants should submit a full CV and covering letter outlining their ability to undertake the project and their initial ideas about how they would build on their existing expertise to take forward the project’s theme.
Applications should be submitted by email to Marian Kyte, Postgraduate Research Secretary (marian.kyte@ncl.ac.uk). Please indicate clearly in your letter (using the title and reference number above).
Closing date for applications: Thursday 22nd July 2010
