The Institute of Advanced Studies is inviting applications for the Warwick Global Research Fellowships. If you might be interested in these posts, please read the Departmental Guidelines for further information on how the Department of History will conduct the nomination process.

Candidates interested in applying for a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship with the Warwick History Department must submit their preliminary application to the Department by Friday 3rd February 2012.

Applications are invited for a three-year, full-time PhD studentship, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, to be held in the History Department at the University of Warwick. The studentship forms an integral part of a wider collaborative research project on ‘The East India Company at Home, c. 1757-1857’ which aims to explore the ways in which Asian commodities influenced social and cultural life and identities in British country houses in the heyday of the East India Company. The selected PhD student will be supervised by Professor Margot Finn and will also benefit from the expertise of the project’s senior Research Fellow, Dr Helen Clifford. Applicants should be committed to pursuing historical research to the doctoral level, focusing on a specific topic within the project’s wider framework and working with the project team. The studentship will entail a three-year residence in the UK and associated funded research trips to archives and libraries.

Full-time 3-year PhD Studentship (overseas fees only, maintenance not included)

Jointly offered by the History Department, the Global History and Culture Centre, and the ERC Project ‘Europe’s Asian Centuries, Trading Eurasia 1600-1830’

The deadline for applications is 25 February 2011.

Applications from students are invited for a 3-year full-time overseas fees only PhD studentship commencing in Autumn 2011. The successful candidate will work with Dr Anne Gerritsen to explore a topic related to the work of the Project. He or she will register for a PhD research degree in Global History. This studentship offers its holder a unique opportunity to work with experts in global history and culture, and to develop expertise and a professional profile.

The Department of History invites outline applications for Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships. Applicants wishing to apply should submit the following to the Departmental Administrator (R.S.Horton@warwick.ac.uk) by Friday 28th January 2011, ideally with an advanced draft of the Leverhulme application or at least the following documents:

• 2 page research proposal
• 100 word abstract
• 250 words on past research related to the project
• CV
• Which member(s) of academic staff in the Department you would particularly like to work closely with
• Details of the duration of Fellowship requested and a justification for this (so if you wanted to do a book, for instance, you might need three years – if you wanted to do a number of articles, two years might be more reasonable)
• Details of any UG teaching that you would be willing to undertake during your Fellowship (either teaching on an existing module or the creation of a new module based on your own research, in either instance with a limited capacity of 20 students per year)

Applicants who are successful in the Department’s internal competition will be invited to submit full applications to the Trust, the forms for which are available from The Leverhulme Trust website.

As part of an AHRC-funded project, 'Empire Loyalists', there is one full-time three-year long PhD studentship available from 1 January 2011 in the History Department at the University of Warwick. The studentship will cover university fees and maintenance at the current rates set by the AHRC for applicants eligible Home or EU students. The deadline to apply is 22 November 2010.
