Applications are invited for a 3-year full-time ESRC NWSSDTP CASE PhD studentship for the qualitative interpretive project “Public experiences of service change in primary care: Focusing on the spaces and places of service delivery”, commencing October 2022. The studentship covers Home (UK) tuition fees and includes a maintenance allowance of £15,609 per year with additional support for research expenses.
This collaborative project is between the Department of Marketing & Centre for Consumption Insights at **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. Management School and the NHS Morecambe Bay Clinical Commissioning Group (MB-CCG) and is focused on building a greater understanding of how the public access, experience, and think about primary care. Using creative ethnographic methods and interdisciplinary concepts and ideas, the project will aim to understand the public’s experiences and meanings of attending primary care spaces in the Northwest of England. Related to a wider movement to improve patients’ and service users’ care experiences, the project provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the NHS’s service provision as it emerges from the largest health crisis in its history. The research has its theoretical base in the broad tradition of Consumer Culture Theory (CCT) and will also allow the successful candidate to pursue their own intellectual ideas within the scope of the general project. The successful candidate will be co-supervised by Professor Maria Piacentini and Dr James Cronin at **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***., and Dr Geoff Jolliffe, the Clinical Chair at MB-CCG. The student will be primarily based at **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***., but can expect to spend some time at the NHS primary care facilities in Morecambe. Travel for field work, and to attend training events and international conferences will be expected.
Eligibility & Overview
The candidate will have a social science or business background and should have attained (or expect to attain by the end of the 2021-22 academic year) a Merit or Distinction Master’s degree in marketing, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, human geography, or a related discipline, with a clear emphasis on consumer behaviour, services marketing, space  or health & illness. The candidate should have a strong background in conducting ethnographic fieldwork, engaging in participant observation and/or collecting and analysing qualitative data. The candidate should also be confident in pursuing theory-guided research and working closely with theories, concepts, frameworks, and ideas from the social sciences.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable not just with partaking in fieldwork but is also passionate about academic literature and the prospect of critiquing, expanding, and developing exciting conceptual explanations in consumption and health studies. There will be a significant impact evaluation component to the project, but also an expectation to read widely, to advance theoretical understanding, and to introduce original theory. The candidate, while based in a Marketing Department, will work within an interdisciplinary research environment.
