MA and PhD scholarship in Digital Humanities at Lancaster and Manchester
Universities

We invite applications for a fully-funded ESRC 1+3 Case studentship
available in Digital Humanities. The student will be supervised by Prof.
Ian Gregory (Lancaster University) and Dr. Joanna Taylor (University of
Manchester) with support from Dr. Mia Ridge from the British Library's
(BL's) Digital Research Team. This exciting project will involve using
text mining techniques such as corpus linguistics, along with spatial
humanities approaches, to study the 19^th century British soundscape
using the British Library's digitised text and sound archives. The
student will be someone with a good first degree in Literary Studies,
History, Human Geography or similar. An interest in 19^th century
environmental history and/or Digital Humanities would be an advantage,
however full training will be provided.

The studentship is offered on a 1+3 basis allowing the student to learn
all of the required digital skills by taking Lancaster's new MA in
Digital Humanities
(www.lancaster.ac.uk/history/masters/ma-digital-humanities) in the first
year, before proceeding to the PhD in the following three years.
Additional training will be offered in collaboration with the British
Library. This is a CASE award whose ESRC funding will cover full UK fees
and a tax-free stipend, currently £14,777p.a. (in 2018/19). Part-time
applications are welcome.

Please direct informal enquiries to Ian Gregory
(I.Gregory@lancaster.ac.uk) or Joanna Taylor
(Joanna.Taylor@manchester.ac.uk). Formal applications should be emailed
to Rebecca Sheppard (r.sheppard1@lancaster.ac.uk) by Monday 11^th
February enclosing a covering letter and CV and the names of two
academic referees.
