and the Institute of Psychiatry
We are looking for a postgraduate student with a research interest in
twentieth-century European psychiatric and/or medical history to conduct

Lewis in 1937. In that year, Lewis visited psychiatric institutions
throughout Europe with the exception of Germany. The three-month

UK and on the Continent. The successful candidate will be required to check
original manuscripts, investigate individual pre-Second World War
psychiatrists and institutions and examine a variety of psychiatric
concepts. A knowledge of European languages would be helpful.
Salary will be offered in the range £23,637 to £25,507 per annum, pro rata

experience.
