[ecrea] A Knight of Comedy: PhD Scholarship at DMU's CATH Centre

Tue Feb 17 15:37:02 GMT 2015



COMMENCING OCTOBER 2015

A PhD research scholarship including stipend and tuition fee costs is offered within the Cinema and Television History (CATH) Research Centre in the Leicester Media School. It is available to UK or EU students who are suitably qualified and have outstanding potential as a researcher.

Project outline

On the centenary of the birth of the celebrated comic actor, Sir Norman Wisdom, in February 2015, the CATH Research Centre is acquiring a unique collection of artefacts, correspondence and memorabilia from his biographer (Richard Dacre). The archive covers the fields of theatre, film, television and radio and is currently uncatalogued. The initial cataloguing and organisation of the collection will be undertaken by a doctoral student, who will go on to select an aspect of the collection that most suits her/his expertise for the PhD thesis, formulating appropriate research questions from the nature of the material uncovered in the cataloguing process. This is a wonderful opportunity to be the first to explore an archive of international significance.

For a more detailed description of the scholarship and the subject area at DMU please visit http://www.dmu.ac.uk/research/graduate-school/phd-scholarships.aspx or contact Professor Steve Chibnall on +44 (0)116 257 7320 or email (schib /at/ dmu.ac.uk)

In offering this scholarship the University aims to further develop its proven research strengths in film, television and theatre history. It is an excellent opportunity for a candidate of exceptional promise to contribute to a stimulating, world-class research environment.

Applications are invited from UK or EU students with a Master’s degree or good first degree (First, 2:1 or equivalent) in a relevant subject. Doctoral scholarships are available for up to three years full-time study starting October 2015 and provide a bursary of ca. £14,057 pa in addition to University tuition fees.

To receive an application pack, please contact Morgan Erdlenbruch via email at (Morgan.Erdlenbruch /at/ dmu.ac.uk). Completed applications should be returned together with two supporting references.
