Subject: Fellowship opportunities - AHRC Towards a National Collection programme - The Sloane Lab: Looking back to build future shared collections
Dear Patricia,
I do hope this finds you well at the end of term and in very cold climate. Lucille Junkere kindly introduced me to the CSN network and shared your email with me. I do hope this is ok.
I’m a Co-I on The Sloane Lab: Looking back to build future shared collections, which is one of five discovery projects under the AHRC’s Towards a National Collection programme.<https://www.ukri.org/what-we-offer/browse-our-areas-of-investment-and-support/towards-a-national-collection-opening-uk-heritage-to-the-world/>
I’m emailing about the announcement of the project’s fellowship programme (first call of three) with a view to finding the best way to share with members of the CSN network and anyone beyond that who may find interest.
I’ve included the information below, also for ease of further sharing should you wish to.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Nina

Its case study is the vast range of collections held in a variety of locations that are connected to Sir Hans Sloane, aiming to bring segments of these together online for the first time. Beyond the technological advances the Sloane Lab aims to enrich debate on issues such as: the contested nature of museum collections, the role of digital tools in foreground overlooked or ignored processes, like imperialism, colonialism, slavery, loss and destruction, that have shaped the UK’s national collections until now.
The fellowship comes with an award of £7,500. We welcome applications from outside as well as inside the United Kingdom. The tenure of the fellowship does not require residency in the UK. All fellowships will be hosted remotely online. Applications to the Fellowship are particularly welcomed from Global Majority individuals.
This advertised role offers an exciting opportunity for individuals with an interest in contributing to the Sloane Lab, including but not limited to, digital humanists, artists, computer and data scientists and heritage practitioners (community or institution based). The Fellows will exemplify the research capacity unlocked by the Sloane Lab by undertaking creative, critical and/or research-led projects. Research areas may include but are not limited to local and family history, object biography, critical heritage, indigenous and devalued knowledge, or the transferability of the technology developed by the Sloane Lab.
Start Date (round one): 27th March 2023 or based upon negotiation
End Date: The post is funded for 3 months
Application deadline: 9th January 2023
