PhDs & Postdocs

CCPT offers a vibrant and supportive environment for doctoral and postdoctoral research. The Centre’s broad-ranging and inclusive approach to the study of political theory means that we can offer supervision and mentoring in a very wide range of subject areas across ancient and modern political thought, contemporary political philosophy, and critical and continental political theory. Take a look at our staff pages for a sense of the range of topics on which we offer supervision.

Our postgraduate researchers play an active role in our research community, both organising and participating in research events and activities. Our annual PGR conference in political theory and our White Rose Political Theory network with researchers at the Universities of Sheffield and York make CCPT an ideal base for doctoral study.
