This opportunity for a fully funded postgraduate research studentship has
been made possible under the AHRC-ESRC Religion and Society Programme for

project, between Durham University and The Arbory Trust, provides opportunity
for a three year period of research on British woodland burial paying
particular attention to theological, ecological and social values.
The successful candidate, based at Durham University, will begin work in
October 2007 and complete a thesis by September 2010, supervised by Prof.
Douglas J Davies of The Department of Theology and Religion, Centre for

Masters level qualification in subject areas appropriate for engaging in
research involving social scientific, theological and religious studies
