Further information, inclucing on how to apply, is available at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding/search/list/ahrc-doc-ling. Deadline for applications is 1 March 2012. 2) ESRC doctoral studentships as part of the North-East Doctoral Training Centre (DTC). There is no set number for linguistics; rather, applications across the social sciences, including linguistics, will be ranked by the DTC. Further information, including on how to apply, is available at http://www.nedtc.ac.uk/studentships.aspx. Deadline for applications is 24 February 2012. The division of labour between ESRC and AHRC as regards linguistics is the following: AHRC supports research into the structure, history, theory and description of language and languages. This includes the development and exploration of theories of language, the elucidation of the historical development of languages and the production of descriptions of languages or features of languages. ESRC supports research in areas of computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and interdisciplinary social science research involving linguistics. Both Councils also fund research into phonetics and applied linguistics relating to the areas for which they are responsible. Both research councils impose the same residency requirements, namely: candidates must be UK/EU citizens; EU candidates who have not lived in the UK for at least three years are eligible only for exemption of fees, as opposed to a full maintenance grant.
