  7. Opportunity

    Applications are invited for three fully funded, four-year cross-faculty studentships at the University of Sheffield, beginning in September 2013. These exciting studentship opportunities arise from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) investment to create a multi-disciplinary cohort of students around a shared topic, trained and supervised between the ESRC White Rose Social Sciences Doctoral Training Centre (WRSSDTC) and the EPSRC Nuclear First Centre for Doctoral Training. The vision for this initiative is to create a multi-disciplinary community of researchers capable of critically engaging with future research agendas relating to nuclear energy in society.
