The Leverhulme Centre for Integrative Research on Agriculture and Health (LCIRAH) is offering four London-based PhD studentships, each 3 years in duration, to start in the 2013/2014 academic year.  Studentships will cover fieldwork costs, student stipend, and UK/EU tuition fees. Each studentship will be registered in one of the participating Colleges and jointly supervised by health, economy and agricultural researchers.  We invite student applications on the following four topics:
