2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in History, London University, UK

/ 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.
