I’m not sure this is even worth thinking about but here goes... I am in my second year (part-time) of a PhD (humanities), and I’m loving the process despite the fact that I have to work almost full-time in an unrelated field to support myself so research is squeezed in around everything else which is frustrating. I have a fees-only studentship which I know I am lucky to get.
Now I have seen a fully funded PhD opportunity (for September 18 start). Same university, same department but quite different subject to my topic. V.interesting though and although I certainly have less experience of this field I could probably make a case for it.
My question- is it worth expressing an interest? I am happy to start over again and would even be prepared to pay the studentship fees accrued so far if that was an issue. But I don’t want to appear uncommitted to my current project or ungrateful to my fantastic supervisors, particularly as I know that even if I did go for it, it is likely to be a bit of a long shot. What should I do?
