/ February 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Universities of Bristol, Exeter and Bath have come together to form one of the UK’s largest Centres of postgraduate research training for social scientists in fields ranging from economics and human geography to quantitative methodology and psychology.

Together, the three Universities educate over 5000 masters and 1600 doctoral students in the social sciences. The new Centre will draw on the established research excellence of the partners, including the expertise of more than 750 social science research staff. This represents one of the largest groupings of social scientists in the UK.

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has granted doctoral training center status to the collaboration. The South West Doctoral Training Center (SWDTC) has been accredited to offer a hub of world-class social sciences research. As one of only 21 Centers in the UK, the SWDTC will be part of a national network to be launched in October 2011 that will train a new generation of social scientists.  The SWDTC has been allocated 41 studentships per Annam.

/ February 10, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Royal Historical Society funds up to two Fellowships per year, the Centenary Fellowship and the Marshall Fellowship, the latter thanks to the generosity of Professor P. J. Marshall, former President of the RHS. Both are open to candidates without regard to nationality or academic affiliation. The Scouloudi Foundation offers up to four Fellowships, which are all open to UK citizens or to candidates with a first degree from a UK university. One Fellowship from the Isobel Thornley Bequest is open to candidates without regard to nationality but only to those registered for a PhD at the University of London.

The Fellowships will be awarded to doctoral students who are engaged in the completion of a PhD in history (broadly defined) and who will have completed at least two years of full-time or three years of part-time research on their doctoral programme (and not more than four years’ full-time or six years’ part-time) at the beginning of the session for which the awards are made.

A condition of the awards is that Fellows will participate actively in the academic life of the Institute. They will be encouraged to attend and present papers at appropriate IHR seminars and to give information and help to fellow scholars working in the same field. Holders of the Royal Historical Society Fellowships are invited to attend the Society’s meetings, lectures and receptions, and are also invited to submit a proposal for a paper for eventual publication in the Society’s Transactions.
