The Midlands3Cities Doctoral Training Partnership (M3C DTP) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University, De Montfort University, University of Leicester, Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham. M3C is awarding up to 87 PhD Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) studentships for UK/EU applicants for 2017 entry. M3C provides research candidates with expert supervision (including opportunities for cross-institutional supervision), research training and access to a wide range of facilities, cohort events and placement opportunities with regional, national and international partners in the creative and cultural sectors.
The School of Geography at the University of Nottingham (see here) invites applications from students whose research interests include:
- Environmental humanities and landscape studies
- Animal geographies
- Cultural economy
- Geographies of empire, militarism and internationalism
- Epidemic spaces and cultural-historical geographies of health
- Heritage sites and legacies of enslavement and colonialism
- Histories of geographical and environmental thought

The deadline for M3C funding applications is 16 January 2017, by which time students must have applied for a place to study and have ensured that two academic references are submitted to the home university on the correct M3C form.
