*The Italian Academies 1525-1700: the first intellectual networks of
early modern Europe.
AHRC PhD Studentship, University of Reading *
The Department of Italian Studies at Reading University is pleased to be
able to offer a three-year Doctoral Studentship, funded by the AHRC
(including fees and maintenance), beginning Autumn 2010.
The successful postgraduate applicant will form part of an established,
interdisciplinary project team led by Professor Jane Everson (Royal
Holloway, London) in conjunction with scholars at the University of
Reading and the British Library. The student will be supervised by Dr
Lisa Sampson at the Department of Italian Studies, one of the largest
and most prestigious of its kind in the country with an outstanding
record in teaching and research.
The PhD will focus particularly on the academies in Ferrara and Mantua,
drawing initially on the resources and methodology operative for the
database that forms the basis for the current project
(http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/ItalianAcademies/ ).
Training at the British Library in research for the database, as well as
independent research in Italy, is envisaged during the course of the
studentship.
Applications are invited from candidates holding an MA or equivalent
qualification, with a near native command of Italian, and experience of
studying Early Modern culture.
For further information please email Dr Lisa Sampson
