    Subject:

    To this end, we invite innovative and original proposals from suitably

    interdisciplinary manifestations, that is, its interactions with, say,
    science, technology, medicine, architecture, education, history, the
    social sciences, fashion, art or culture and/or the creative industries
    more generally.

Specific
requirements of the project
The
successful candidate will usually hold a good Honours degree (in the first or
upper-second class) as well as a Masters degree (with merit or distinction,
either awarded or forecast) in a relevant field. In addition to this, proposals
should demonstrate a familiarity with the research interests of members of
staff in (or affiliated with) the Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies,
including Dr Linnie Blake; Dr Sorcha Ní Fhlainn; Dr Emma Liggins; Dr Xavier
Aldana Reyes; Dr Chloe Buckley; Dr Julian Holloway; Dr Paul Wake; Dr Lucy
Burke; Dr Matt Foley; Dr Peter Lindfield; and Prof. Dale Townshend.
Applications will be assessed on the extent to which they fit with, and
complement, the research strengths of members of staff. Though this is by no
means an exhaustive list, proposals might wish to explore such topics as Gothic
and gaming cultures (Paul Wake; Chloe Buckley); Gothic, children and education (Chloe
Buckley; Dale Townshend); Gothic and popular culture (Sorcha Ní Fhlainn);
Gothic cinema (Xavier Aldana Reyes, Sorcha Ní Fhlainn); Gothic and
international relations (Xavier Aldana Reyes, Kathryn Starnes, Sarah Ilott);
Gothic heritage and tourism (Dale Townshend, Peter Lindfield, Julian Holloway);
Gothic, fine art and architecture (Dale Townshend, Peter Lindfield, Emma
Liggins); historical manifestations of the Gothic (Linnie Blake, Dale
Townshend, Emma Liggins); Gothic and national identity (Xavier Aldana Reyes,
Linnie Blake, Sarah Ilott); Gothic and medical humanities (Linnie Blake, Lucy
Burke); and Gothic, philosophy and critical theory (Dale Townshend, Matt
Foley). Though the studentship will be based in the Centre for Gothic Studies
in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, members of the supervisory team will,
where appropriate, be drawn from other departments and faculties across the
University.
The
successful candidate would be expected to start in September/October 2018
