[ecrea] Funded PhD Studentship on Bill Douglas and British Cinema

The College of Humanities at the University of Exeter and The Bill 
Douglas Cinema Museum are pleased to announce a funded PhD studentship 
to research Bill Douglas’ place in British cinema.

The studentship is entitled 'Creativity and Constraint in the British 
Film Industry in the 1970s and 1980s: A Case Study on Bill Douglas' and 
will analyse the problems and issues in the British film industry in 
this period and how the work of Bill Douglas, a singular film artist, 
fits within British cinema of the time.

The project will draw upon The Bill Douglas Working Papers. This 
collection comprises new archival material recently donated by Bill 
Douglas’s friend and collaborator Peter Jewell and others that worked 
with Douglas.  The papers offer insights Douglas’ working methods across 
his career; there is particularly rich material relating to the 
production of his ‘poor man’s epic’ on the Tolpuddle Martyrs, ‘Comrades’ 
(1987).

You can find more details on the studentship, eligibility, and how to 
apply at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=2645  and

This is a collaborative PhD studentship funded by the College of 
Humanities at the University of Exeter and The Bill Douglas and Peter 
Jewell Trust. The studentship will be for a period of up to 3 years of 
full-time study, dependent on satisfactory progress, and will cover full 
UK/EU tuition fees and a maintenance grant of £14,553 per year. Deadline 
for applications is 16 July.

This is an exciting opportunity for a new scholar to work with unique 
materials to produce original research.
