Call for Applications
For September 2026 entry, the Bloomberg Philanthropies PhD Studentships in Cities will be available for a number of programmes across the Departments of Government, Geography, Management and Sociology at the London School of Economics & Political Science. Students of all nationalities are eligible for this funding.
These Studentships will be encouraging a collaborative approach involving city governments as co-hosting institutions. Research students will generate original and significant research in the field of city government innovation, urban governance and leadership, including exploratory and open research on the critical uncertainties challenging urban governance over the next decade.
Research will be highly contemporary, informed by concerns of the twenty-first-century European city and focusing on essential future agendas for European cities.
