Cemore welcomes applications from well-qualified applicants to undertake doctoral study in the area of ‘mobilities research’.
Please contact Monika Büscher if you have a project in mind.
You would be based in Sociology, or one of the other departments where staff are based, including Lancaster’s Institute for Contemporary Art, the Management School, Lancaster Environment Centre, English and Creative Writing, the Institute for Social Futures and more widely across the university.
You would normally be supervised by 1 or 2 academic staff attached to the Centre, while registered either in Sociology or in the department where your main supervisor is based. Through your department and Cemore you become part of a vibrant postgraduate culture and able to participate in the various taught courses, seminars, workshops and events.
We also always welcome Visiting PhD students. If you are undertaking a doctorate elsewhere and would like to spend a period of time in Cemore, please contact Monika Büscher.
