The studentship will include University and College fees at the Home/EU rate, research support and a stipend of £13,590 in line with the current RCUK rates. The PhD will be supervised by Dr Franz Fuerst and will examine the impact of the University of Cambridge’s development at North West Cambridge on housing affordability.
