>PhD Studentships
>
>Applications are invited for two AHRB-funded full time PhD
>studentships (three years). One studentship will focus on the theme
>of The Imperial Liners (1840-1914): a Cultural History and the other
>on The Decline and Fall of the Merchant Sailing Ship (1845-1926).
>Both topics relate closely to an AHRB large grant project entitled
>The Ocean Steamship: A Cultural History of Victorian Maritime Power
>1850-1914 directed by Professor Crosbie Smith at the University of
>Kent. The project has also strong links with the University of
>Liverpool (Dr William Ashworth) and the University of Aberdeen (Dr
>Ben Marsden). The historiographical emphasis of the project as a
>whole is on the cultural shaping of technological practices rather
>than on traditional economic or business history.
>
>AHRB studentship eligibility criteria apply (e.g. candidates should
>normally have, or be studying for, a Masters degree with the
>expectation of completing the Masters degree prior to commencement
>of the PhD). Applications from candidates with web authoring
>experience (e.g. Dreamweaver) and/or database skills will be
>especially welcome.
>
>Please send a CV, with two letters of academic reference and a
>research proposal (up to 500 words and centred on one or other of
>the above topics), to Professor Crosbie Smith, Ocean Project
>Director, School of History, Rutherford College, University of Kent,
>Canterbury, Kent, CT2 7NX.
>
>Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Smith (email
>[log in to unmask]) or to Dr Ian Higginson, Assistant Director (email
>[log in to unmask]).
>
>Closing date: Friday 12 July 2002.
>
>The University of Kent is committed to implementing an equal
>opportunities policy.
