2018 OPEN CALL—AHRC-FUNDED COLLABORATIVE DOCTORAL STUDENTSHIP PROPOSALS FOR THE SCIENCE MUSEUMS AND ARCHIVES CONSORTIUM
The Science Museums and Archives Consortium is delighted to announce the 2018 Open Call for proposals for AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Awards to be supported through our Collaborative Doctoral Partnership.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) programme provides funding for doctoral projects. Any studentship must be jointly proposed by a university-based academic in collaboration with a member of staff at the Science Museums and Archives Consortium (SMAC).
Successful doctoral candidates are jointly supervised by subject specialists at both their Higher Education Institute (HEI) and at one or more of the institutions of the SMAC Consortium, comprising:
BT Archives
Science Museum Group (Museum of Science and Industry, National Railway Museum, National Science and Media Museum, Science Museum)
The Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers)
The Royal Society
We encourage CDP applications on any topic in contemporary and historical curatorial, conservation, audience and/or learning research that address the collections, current interests and programme priorities of the SMAC Consortium.
The proposed project must demonstrate academic originality, be appropriate for collaborative study at doctoral level, and fall into the AHRC subject areas.
The scheme provides an exceptional opportunity for doctoral students to:
access distinctive, but complementary environments
study within a research-led museum and archives environment
benefit from a diversity of approaches with an applied/translational dimension
have an opportunity to develop a range of valuable skills and significantly enhance their future employability.
Through the programme the students are encouraged to engage with the wider public and to present their research to non-specialist audiences.
The research projects establish links of long-term benefits for both collaborating partners, providing access to resources and materials, knowledge and expertise that might not otherwise have been available.
Deadline for Stage 1 proposals is the 21 September 2018
