Dear List, Closing date 28 February 2025 The Leverhulme Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub (LAURA) is now recruiting a second cohort of research students to start in September 2025. We are offering the following places:
Our new website at https://laura.salford.ac.uk/ includes a long list of potential PhD topics and supervisors, FAQs and details on how to apply. All the studentships attract the standard UK stipend of £19,237 per year. Leverhulme-funded PhD students also get up to £10k per student for research expenses. Typical research expenses include participant recruitment and field & conference
trips. We will hold a webinar
for applicants on Wed 5 Feb 2025 at 1300 GMT (on Microsoft Teams). In the webinar, I’ll outline the programme, funding and application process. LAURA supervisors will introduce themselves and their topics. We’ll answer your questions (mic or chat). Aural diversity is the fairly new idea that hearing/listening differences between individuals and groups might be better represented as a spectrum instead of a binary normal/impaired division. The PhD topics will build on the early work
of the https://auraldiversity.org/ research network to apply the aural diversity concept in many disciplines concerned with sound. Hence, the PhDs are mostly rather interdisciplinary and a bit different from mainstream
hearing science. For further information, including how to apply, please refer to our website at
https://laura.salford.ac.uk/
We encourage interested applicants to contact potential supervisors for an informal discussion. For questions which are not about a specific PhD topic, you can email
