Land management decisions determine the production of agricultural and forestry outputs. But they also have implications for the production of non?marketed ecosystem goods and services such as water purification and regulation. Shortages of ecosystem services can substantially curtail the livelihoods of particularly the rural population in developing countries who vitally depend on land productivity and natural resources.  The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop innovative valuation methodologies suitable for application in developing countries and apply the methodologies to value changes of land management decisions with respect to non? marketed ecosystem services in the West African Sudanian Savannah region.

How to Apply: By electronically

Study Subject(s): Translation and Interpreting

Applicants must meet AHRC residency criteria – for a full award, applicants must: • have been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the 3-year period preceding the date of application for an award, and • have settled status in the UK within the meaning of the Immigration Act 1971 (i.e. not be subject to any restriction on the period for which he/she may stay) Students from EU countries other than the UK may be eligible for a fees-only award, if ordinarily resident in a member state of the EU.

College of Arts and Humanities invites applications for two AHRC Professional Preparation Master’s studentships in Translation and Interpreting. This programme, new in 2011, is a variant of the MA Translation with Language Technology in which an emphasis on Public Service Interpreting (with an introduction to Conference Interpreting) replaces that on Language Technology (which, however, remains an option). It is designed to provide students with a qualification that validates a wide range of professional skills and allows them to respond flexibly to the changing challenges of the language services market. Students take practical modules on interpreting in local authority and healthcare settings. These are designed to enable students to pass the examinations of the widely recognised Diploma in Public Service Interpreting, which is offered by the professional body the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
