We are looking for high-quality PhD candidates to help us deliver outstanding research that addresses some of the biggest challenges facing contemporary society.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


The Manchester Metropolitan University Q Step Centre invites applications for two PhD studentships. Each student will receive a full three-year fee remission and will be appointed to a fixed-term (3 year) Graduate Teaching Assistant post (0.2FTE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These posts are funded as part of Manchester Metropolitan\u2019s Q-Step Centre. Funded by Nuffield, ESRC and HEFCE, Q-Step is a multi-million investment in the development of undergraduate quantitative methods training. Manchester Metropolitan\u2019s Q-Step Centre is based in the Department of Sociology, within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. It builds on Manchester Metropolitan\u2019s commitment to excellence in research and teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsibilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The candidates will be expected to pursue a PhD that has quantitative data analysis as its central method. Evidence of proficiency in quantitative methods (from prior study, research and\/or work experience) is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Person Specification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Candidates should have a record of accomplishment of high academic achievement, demonstrated by a good undergraduate degree with at least an upper second-class honours or equivalent; plus a Masters-level degree with at least a pass with merit (or equivalent). They should be highly motivated and be able to identify a clear academic pathway in their chosen research.
The main research interests of the Manchester Metropolitan University Q Step centre are wellbeing and health; community engagement and the voluntary sector; pedagogy in relation to numeracy and data literacy; gender, class and work; identity, meaning and worldview. We are, however, happy to consider applicants with a wide range of substantive interests.
Applicants need to be available from 1 September 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
