Doctoral research

Please note that the main doctoral application submission period at the University of Edinburgh has an annual deadline within the month of January (for an entry in the Autumn of the same calendar year). If interested in any of the following opportunities, feel free to contact me in advance of that deadline. Please note that, while I may not offer a PhD project every year, I am always happy to discuss with prospective candidates about research ideas of their own instigation.
