Institute for Social, Cultural and Policy Research
University of Salford

Applications are invited for a three-year full-time PhD Studentship,
fully funded (fees and maintenance grant) by EPSRC, to commence
September 2004.

This studentship is directly linked with a current research project
investigating the social and economic aspects of sustainable energy, and
particularly the emergence of a 'Hydrogen economy'. It is desirable that
the student has already successfully completed social sciences training
to Master's level, but the successful candidate will be able to access
additional ESRC-accredited doctoral training at Salford as part of their
research leading to a PhD Thesis. The student will be required to carry
out studies of technological innovation and its social context: the
exact topic will be agreed. Applications from graduates in the social
sciences and environmental sciences with an interest in science and
technology policy are especially welcome.
For further information about the programme in which the project is
located, please see http://www.uk-shec.org
