Up to 50 AHRC funded research studentships to start in October 2016 to 
support Galleries, Museums, Libraries, Archives and Heritage 
Organisations

The holders of Arts and Humanities Research Council funded 
Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDPs) are pleased to announce 
their competitions for research studentships to start in October 2016.  
We invite colleagues in UK Universities with research interests across 
the Arts and Humanities to approach us to explore possible topics for 
these Collaborative Doctoral studentships for applications in this, or 
future years.

The twelve different Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships, representing 
more than 35 Museums, Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Heritage 
Organisations across the UK with track records of supporting doctoral 
research to support their work.

Through the Collaborative Doctoral Partnership scheme these 
organisations run competitions to choose fully funded AHRC research 
studentships to support. Each studentship will be jointly supervised by 
a member of staff in a University and someone in the partner 
organisation as a Collaborative Doctoral Award. The topic of the 
research has to support the work and objectives of the partner 
organisation, and the student will benefit from participating in joint 
training and other opportunities offered by consortium of CDP holders.

For further details about how different organisations allocate their 
studentships and their priorities, please link to their individual 
websites/email contact details listed on our joint  website: 
http://www.ahrc-cdp.org/about/

We all share a similar timetable for our studentship competitions with 
a deadline for applications by November 27th 2015. Final decisions will 
be made by the end of January 2016.
