AHRC Doctoral Studentships (PhD) - English

English (E-Manuscripts/E-Archives)

THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, IN COLLABORATON WITH THE BRITISH LIBRARY, THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND AND THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES

As part of an exciting partnership between The Open University, The British Library, The National Library of Scotland and The National Library of Wales, we are able to offer a three-year, full-time funded AHRC studentship for doctoral work in English (to commence October 2013). While proposals will be considered for any project utilising the collections of one or more of the three national library partners, we are particularly interested in receiving proposals relating to e-manuscripts/e-archives.
The successful candidate will join a community of doctoral students in the English Department at The Open University but may also choose to be based in one of the national library partners (all of which have relevant collections) and will work closely with staff and collections there. For advice prior to a formal application, please contact Paul Lawrence, Associate Dean Research, The Open University (paul.lawrence@open.ac.uk). For more information and how to apply, please see http://www3.open.ac.uk/employment/.

Deadline: 14 June 2013.
Interviews anticipated: week commencing 8 July 2013
