The University of Stirling and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) are pleased to invite applications for a three-year Collaborative Doctoral Studentship, fully funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK/EU rate) with additional associated expenses from RCAHMS, to commence on 1 October 2013, or as soon thereafter as can be arranged.
This studentship will be a collaboration between the School of Arts and Humanities, Division of History & Politics (http://www.stir.ac.uk/arts-humanities/about-us/history-and-politics/) and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) (http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/).
The project will focus on Scotland’s Early Stone Castles, c1050 – 1350 with the aim of exploring the physical impact of castle building on Scotland’s landscape and their historical and sociological impact within the time period identified, and in their wider international context.
The successful applicant will spend some of their time based at RCAHMS, working alongside RCAHMS staff on fieldwork and with the archives, liaising closely with Dr Piers Dixon, an Operational Manager in Survey and Recording.
Potential applicants are welcome to contact Dr Piers Dixon (piers.dixon@rcahms.gov.uk) or Professor Richard Oram (r.d.oram@stir.ac.uk) with any questions they may have.
