2 one-year Masters studentships in the History of Medicine at the
University of Durham for the academic year 2005-06

The Centre for the History of Medicine and Disease (CHMD) invites
applications for 2 one-year Masters studentships in the History of
Medicine.

The studentships are part of the new Taught Masters Programme in History
and Philosophy of Science and Medicine (HPSM) of the University of
Durham's Department of Philosophy, the Centre for the History of
Medicine and Disease (CHMD), and the School for Health. They are placed
within the framework of the Durham/Newcastle Centre for the History of
Medicine, a partnership between the universities of Durham and Newcastle.

The studentships are funded from a Wellcome Trust Enhancement Award
which had been awarded to the Durham/Newcastle Centre for the History of
  Medicine. They will be available as of October 2005.

The Masters studentships cover fees at home/EU level plus £9,000
maintenance. Students will register for the new MA in HPSM offered by
the Department of Philosophy and the School for Health as of October 2005.

This one-year (two years part-time) programme combines historical and
philosophical approaches to medicine and science. In particular, it
provides students with a deeper understanding of historical, cultural
and philosophical issues in science and medicine from Antiquity up to
the present day. One of its primary aims is to show students how the
humanities are relevant to a deeper understanding of past and present
medical and scientific issues. The breadth of the course's methods
ranges from socio-cultural models to analytical approaches. The
programme provides the necessary research training that will either link
into further PhD study or act as a stand alone MA; and candidates who
have successfully completed the programme will be eligible to take part
in the annual Wellcome Trust PhD studentship competition. Further
information on the HPSM Masters Programme and the teaching staff can be
found on the website at http://www.dur.ac.uk/hpsm.ma/index.html .

Applications for the two studentships are invited from highly motivated
graduates from various backgrounds including arts and humanities
subjects, science, and medicine with a high mark on their first degree
(or equivalent) who will commit themselves to a dissertation on a
subject within the History of Medicine. Overseas applicants are also
strongly encouraged to apply.

Applications for the studentships should be made to Prof. Holger Maehle,
Centre for the  History of Medicine and Disease, University of Durham,
Queen's Campus, Wolfson Research Institute, University Boulevard,
Stockton-on-Tees TS17 6BH, United Kingdom. Applications must include (a)
a statement of up to 400 words outlining your reasons for wanting to
pursue postgraduate study in HPSM and highlighting your specific
research interests in the History of Medicine, (b) a full CV, (c) the
names of two referees.

The closing date for applications is 6 May 2005.

Simultanously, applicants should also apply to the HPSM programme.
Application forms and general information are available through the
Postgraduate Secretary, Department of Philosophy, University of Durham,
50 Old Elvet, Durham DH1 3HN, United Kingdom, Email:
