Research Studentships at City University, UK - Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism

City University London's success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) confirmed a major step-change in our research profile. World-class activity was recognised in many areas, leading to an increase of over 50% in our quality research funding. Based on that success, we have recently concluded a major review of research and knowledge transfer, which has allowed us to redefine our research as an all-inclusive set of activities comprising basic and applied research, policy- and practice-focused research, knowledge and technology transfer, entrepreneurship and consultancy. As we prepare for the future, our attention is focused on demonstrating the societal value of our research and the impact it makes on business, industry, government policies and the professions.

Our research and enterprise activities are more exciting and diverse than ever, with subjects ranging across business, social sciences, engineering and mathematics, informatics, law, music, journalism, cultural policy and a wide range of areas in the health-related domains.

The Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism is the first major interdisciplinary centre in the UK to develop a broad yet focused interface between law, justice and journalism in society. The Centre is offering 5 three-year, full-time doctoral studentships, available to both home and overseas fee-paying students.

Applications are invited to undertake interdisciplinary doctoral research in a topic relevant to the five main themes of the Centre:

• Legal Restraints on the Media
• Transformations in Media Policy
• Journalism and Human Rights
• Media, Security and Justice
• Communicating Forensic Evidence

For entry in October 2010 or earlier if possible, the studentships will attract a bursary of £12,000 per annum in addition to payment of the tuition fees. Successful candidates will usually be expected to undertake some teaching support activity in their second and third years, by agreement with the School concerned.

Informal enquiries can be made to the co-directors of the Centre:

Professor Howard Tumber, Graduate School of Journalism - School of Arts (mailto:h.tumber@city.ac.uk)

Professor Lorna Woods, City Law School (mailto:lorna.woods.1@city.ac.uk)

Professor Eugene McLaughlin, Criminology - School of Social Sciences (e.mclaughlin@ city.ac.uk)

Closing date for applications: Monday 25 January 2010
