In May 2009,
the AHRC announced its support for a three year Collaborative
Postdoctoral Award to fund the completion of a PhD on
the topic of The John Murray Archive: Author-Publisher
Relations in the Nineteenth Century. The degree will
be undertaken in the subject area of English Literature
and will be based in the Centre for the History of the
Book in The University of Edinburgh. It will be jointly
supervised by the National Library of Scotland, which
undertakes to provide an additional £1000 p.a.
for the support of the student.
This Collaborative
Doctoral Award offers an outstanding opportunity to
pursue a fully-funded PhD, while gaining work experience
in areas related to research interests, including training
in library archive management and exhibition curation.
The studentships are funded for three years and will
begin in September or October 2009.
Candidates should
have a relevant undergraduate degree and should have
completed a postgraduate master's degree by September
2009.
Applicants
should submit a curriculum vitae, outlining qualifications
for the studentship and the names and contact details
of two academic referees. They should also submit a
writing sample (for example, a Masters' programme term
paper or a chapter of a dissertation).
Applicants
should submit their application no later than June 9,
2009, to Dr Bill Bell, Centre for the History of the
Book, University of Edinburgh , 22a Buccleuch Place,
Edinburgh, EH8 9LN or by email b.bell@ed.ac.uk,
from whom further
particulars are also available.
