Co(l)laboratory Fully Funded Studentships
Co(l)laboratory is a joint project between Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham, that will support Nottinghamshire communities through partnership, research and collaboration.
This eight year, £5.1m project will train 50 PhD candidates through a programme of locally relevant, challenge-based research, guided by Nottinghamshire communities.
Fully funded studentships
Applications for the first Co(l)laboratory fully funded studentships are now open until Monday 6 February 2023.
We can fully fund 10 passionate researchers who want to make a real difference to the lives of people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. All of our PhD projects have been co-designed by academic researchers and partners at local community-focused organisations, based on the needs and priorities of local citizens. Co(l)laboratory research will support development within local communities, broadening prospects and facilitating change for citizens, driving growth and improving wellbeing. Browse the projects at the bottom of this page to see the opportunities available.
