Two fully-funded PhD studentships are to be offered by QUB as part of the successful application to the ESRC to fund the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study Research Support Unit (NILS-RSU) from 2012 to 2017.  These will be focused around the general theme of ‘Northern Ireland in Transition 1991-2011’.  This is a key part of the research and dissemination agenda described in the application.  The first of the studentships is planned to start in late 2013 and will be based on the linkage of 2011 and 2001 Census data to the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study (NILS). The other, to commence in late 2014, will take advantage of the full linkage of the 1991 Census data to the NILS. The closing date for applications for the first studentship is 16^th September 2013.
