Dilema! Looking for a PhD at my institution ans somewhere elsel: who can I tell?

they will hopefully understand that you need to keep your options open.

also, it may encourage the university to get a move on with the funding etc, to prevent them from losing a potentially good student to the other project.

I think you should apply to the local labs, as the PhDs there are likely to be quickly filled, but also the projects will be well defined and you will be in a good position to stay on with a job afterwards.

as far as i know, a PhD in an education area is hard to get funded, but i'm sure it happens, so good luck there.

tell them to stop being so bloody lazy and do it themselves. you need a reference, it isn't like you are asking for an essay to be written about you, so it shouldn't take them very long at all.

Good luck.

I hope you figure something out as your research area sounds very interesting

would funding yourself (perhaps as a part-time PhD student) not be an option?

unfortunately, it is a fact of life that there is more funding in some areas than in others. your proposed projects some interesting, and I know nothing about that area.

Perhaps you could approach a few research councils and see what they say, then once you have got an idea from them, you can talk to prospective supervisors. But because of the funding situation, it would appear that you have a lot of work to do.

Good luck
