Advance Notice: Collaborative Doctoral Studentships available at Science
Museum Group
The AHRC has awarded the Science Museum Group eight collaborative
doctoral studentships to start this autumn. In late spring, with our
university partners, we will be looking for excellent students with
relevant Masters degrees to apply for these places.
At present, university partners, working with professional staff at the
museums in our group, are submitting proposals for projects to be
conducted on a wide range of fascinating topics related to the museums'
concerns. Please note that it is an intrinsic aspect of these
collaborative projects that students, as in a conventional doctorate,
determine the route across the terrain described in outline in the
proposals. In addition to this, they gain all the benefits and academic
stimulation of working in world-leading museums, including opportunities
to work on unexplored collections, and communicating their work to wide
audiences.
The Science Museum Group is Britain's premier museum organisation in the
fields of science, technology, engineering, medicine and media. It is
comprised of the Science Museum (London), Museum of Science and Industry
(Manchester), National Media Museum (Bradford), National Railway Museum
(York) and NRM branch Locomotion (Shildon). SMG holds collections,
carefully acquired since the 19th century, of international
significance. Its permanent galleries and temporary exhibitions
represent the history, present and future of its subjects. The museums'
professional staff lecture and publish their academic work widely in
museology and history. In recent years, the museums have hosted AHRC
projects under the Science in Culture, Connected Communities, and Beyond
Text themes.
If you would like to register your interest in these places, please
e-mail research@sciencemuseum.ac.uk so that we can contact you as soon
as the places can be advertised.
