PhD Studentship: Sustainable Futures

How to apply: All applications should be made online. Under Campus, select “London”. Under programme name, select the institute that you think best reflects your project (Please note that your first institute preferences may not be the final location of the studentship.) 

Please quote the advertised reference number: “2023/LUL/3” in your application under “Advert Reference” in the Financial Support section.

Please makes sure to include a Research Proposal with your application (Create your own research proposal | Postgraduate study | Loughborough University (lboro.ac.uk))

To avoid delays in processing your application, please ensure that you submit the minimum supporting documents. 

We are open to applications from any candidate whose proposed research fits into LUL’s activities across seven Institutes, but particularly welcome applications on the following interdisciplinary area.

Bold research projects that are interdisciplinary and impact-focused are needed for pathways to sustainable futures that respond to social and environmental crises. How are social movements responding to the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction? How might local democracy experiments address resilient and sustainable economies? Which leadership models and technologies are emerging to tackle Net Zero? Is corporate-social-responsibility fit for purpose today? These are examples of critical questions we aim to interrogate to advance our Loughborough University London strategic agenda on Sustainable Futures. Loughborough University London offers an internationally-recognised faculty of academics with teaching expertise and relevant active research.

This project is fully funded, covering fees and stipend. We welcome applications from international candidates.

Loughborough University has an applied research culture. In REF 2021, 94% of the work submitted was judged to be top-rated as world-leading or internationally excellent.
