The Department of Politics and Public Policy at De Montfort University is delighted to announce two full PhD studentships investigating urban governance in an age of crisis and austerity, covering fees and stipend. The successful candidates will work with a team of internationally renowned researchers in critical governance and public policy.
The studentships are an outstanding opportunity for two ambitious and talented graduates to contribute to our exciting research on crisis and austerity governance and join a thriving group of doctoral students. The first studentship, with Professor Jonathan Davies, explores the challenge of Understanding and Transforming Crisis Governance.
The successful candidate will research the changing forms and functions of governance at the state-civil society interface, under conditions of crisis and/or austerity. The second studentship, with Professor Colin Copus, explores City leadership in Times of Austerity. The research will focus on the processes, forms and structures local political leaders (and mayors) and chief executives develop to work with public and private bodies in tackling problems of economic regeneration and urban growth under austerity.
