PhD and Research Scholarship in History at University of Sussex, UK

The PhD and Research Scholarship is fully funded by James Henry Green Charitable Trust through the James Green Centre. The award covers ‘home’ tuition fees and an annual book award of £1,000. The purpose of the award is to build and share knowledge about Royal Pavilion & Museums’ rich holdings of material and visual culture from Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Americas.

Description

The scholarship research is offered by the James Henry Green Charitable Trust through the James Green Centre for World Art at Royal Pavilion & Museums (RP&M), Brighton & Hove. The purpose of the award is to build and share knowledge about RP&M’s rich holdings of material and visual culture from Africa, Asia, the Pacific and Americas. For this reason the main requirement of the award is that the proposed doctoral research project considers some aspect of the World Art collection. Other requirements include a yearly report and, at some point during the scholarship, a public outcome for staff and visitors to Brighton Museum & Art Gallery (for example a talk, display or web article about the research project). The scholarship-holder is also expected to make a presentation on the subject of their doctoral research to the Trustees of the James Henry Green Charitable Trust at one of their annual general meetings during their tenure of the scholarship.

Benefits: The scholarship will be worth the equivalent amount of the Home/EU fee in the relevant year for full-time students, or pro-rata for part-time students, and will be awarded for three years for full-time students, or for an equivalent or relevant period of time for part-time and current students. There is an additional fund of £1,000 for book purchase for each year of the award. Applications will be judged on academic merit.

Eligibility

The interested applicants must meet the following requirements:
  • have been offered a place in a research degree programme in the Department of Art History at Sussex
  • commence the degree in October 2013 (awards cannot be deferred to subsequent years).
