Migrant Futures Doctoral Studentships

The Graduate School at Goldsmiths, University of London is offering two fully-funded doctoral studentships as part of a major grant awarded by Oak Foundation to establish the new Migrant Futures Institute (MFI). These studentships are central to the MFI's vision to advance innovative research and training in the field of migration studies and foreground migrant intellectual lives and creative endeavours. One award is open to eligible home applicants who identify as migrants or refugees and from racialised ethnic minority backgrounds in any field of research for which supervision is available at Goldsmiths. Applicants need not be working on a migration-related topic, but should describe how their work will enhance their own economic, creative and intellectual lives and that of others. The second award is open to all eligible home or international applicants whose proposed PhD focuses on migration-related topics, informed by co-production of knowledge with people from migrant and refugee backgrounds. Studentship holders will be designated as Fellows of the Migrant Futures Institute and are expected to contribute to developing and enhancing the research culture of the institute through research, creative practice and participation in MFI activities and events. The awards cover tuition fees, an annual stipend at UKRI rates, and a research training support grant.
