PhD in Textual Criticism and Authorship
Attribution by Computational Methods
A PhD research scholarship including stipend
and tuition fee costs is offered within the
Centre for Textual Studies in the School of
Humanities. It is available to UK or EU students
who are suitably qualified and have outstanding
potential as a researcher. In offering this
scholarship the University aims to further
develop its proven research strengths in
textual scholarship. It is an excellent
opportunity for a candidate of exceptional
promise to contribute to a stimulating,
world-class research environment.
New computational methods are enabling new
discoveries about the authorship and textual
provenance of literary and historical works,
showing us new plays by William Shakespeare
and reshaping the canons of other major figures.
This scholarship offers the opportunity to learn
the state of the art in these new methods and
apply them to a range of textual questions in
the field of literary-historical study. The
research student could explore any aspect of
authorship attribution or textual criticism by
computational methods, and may come from any
background, technical or non-technical, because
full training in computational methods for
textual analysis will be provided. The student
would also be free, but not required, to devise
new kinds of computational methods for literary-
historical scholarship.
