Trailblazers: The Early Career Researcher and PhD Candidate Partnering Scheme

Coventry University are now recruiting for exceptional PhD candidates to undertake trailblazing, transformative research alongside our outstanding early-career researchers.

The Trailblazer PhD studentships have been devised and developed by leading early-career researchers at Coventry University. The scheme provides successfully appointed doctoral researchers with an innovative and dynamic intellectual space in which to undertake transformative research, whilst being fully supported by a team of experienced supervisors.

Candidates will form part of an interdisciplinary cohort dedicated to trailblazing and innovative research.

Trailblazer candidates will also be embedded within Coventry University's Doctoral College and Centre for Research Capability and Development which provides support with high-quality training and career development activities for researchers from PGR to Professor.

Throughout the PhD, successful candidates will receive comprehensive research training including technical, personal and professional skills.

The PhD projects available within this scheme are based in our dedicated Research Centres.
