Information for prospective supervisors
Information on how supervisors at universities can propose topics for PhD research on the Society's collections.
For the last 20 years, supported by the AHRC, the Society has hosted PhD students working collaboratively on the Collections.
All projects involve a collaboration between a university-based researcher and the staff and (archive) materials at the Society. In the past, we have supported projects via Collaborative Doctoral Programme consortia and via Doctoral Training Partnerships.
We currently partner on a Doctoral Focal Award on Living Well with Water with the Universities of Hull and Liverpool, the National Trust and Tate Liverpool.
We also warmly encourage approaches from those at universities holding Doctoral Landscape Awards who are interested in exploring partnering on a CDA with us, or from colleagues interested in including us as a secondary partner through a Collaborative Doctoral Landscape Award. Please contact Dr Sarah Evans for more information.
