With six well-established research centres and links to leading institutions around the world, the School of Law at the University of Nottingham is a dynamic environment for scholarly endeavours. We engage in world-leading and internationally renowned research in core as well as emerging areas of law. Our research demonstrates real-world impact through knowledge exchange and collaboration with external partners.
We are seeking to expand our thriving postgraduate research community by offering two PhD scholarships for the start of the next academic session (September 2022). We are especially keen to attract highly motivated individuals with innovative project ideas. We are equally open to proposals in any area of law, any methodology (i.e. empirical, doctrinal, comparative, theoretical) or research design.
Applicants are strongly advised to review the details of the research interests of staff members within the School of Law (https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/law/research/supervision-areas.aspx )
and to approach them as potential supervisors to[OU1] see if they are willing to act as supervisors of the project—at least in principle.
Prime consideration will be given to applicants with a focused research project/proposal that can demonstrate a cutting-edge topic, angle or approach. This aspect should be given special emphasis in the applicant’s submitted documentation.
