The London Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine
invites applications for two studentships for the 2007/08 academic year.
The London Centre was formed in 1987 and brings together three leading
academic centres of research and teaching, making it the single largest
concentration of expertise in Britain. The centres are the Centre for the
History of Science, Technology and Medicine at Imperial College, the
Department of Science and Technology Studies, University College London,
and the Wellcome Trust Centre for History of Medicine at UCL. It offers two
taught programmes: the long-established MSc in History of Science, Medicine
and Technology, and the new MSc in Science, Technology, Medicine and
Society.
The Hans Rausing award is suitable for MSc applicants primarily interested
in the history of science and technology and who intend to pursue a PhD at
Imperial College. It is open to home, EU and overseas candidates, and
covers the cost of fees for one year and a stipend equivalent to that
offered by the Arts and Humanities Research Board. Subject to outstanding
performance on the MSc programme, the successful candidate will receive
funding to pursue a 3-year PhD at Imperial College, although they will also
be expected to apply for funding from other UK/EU or overseas funding
bodies.
The Wellcome Trust award is suitable for MSc applicants primarily
interested in the history of medicine as a topic and as an academic career.
UK, EU and overseas candidates are eligible to apply. The value of the
award covers fees (at the home/EU rate only) and a stipend.
Candidates for both awards should possess an exceptional academic track
record and outstanding research potential. They should submit an official
university application for the MSc programme no later than 30 April 2007.
