PhD Scholarship in "Holocaust and Genocide Studies" with the Stanley Burton Centre

The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies - the oldest Holocaust research centre in the UK - is pleased to offer a scholarship for February 2018 entry to its Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme. The scholarship will pay full-time University UK tuition fees for three years (pro-rata for part-time study). The scholarship is open to new postgraduate researchers only - i.e., it is not open to existing postgraduate students.

The successful applicant's research project will be supervised by a member of staff in the Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, part of the University's School of History, Politics and International Relations. Proposals demonstrating interdisciplinary interests and methodologies are also encouraged.

We welcome applications from those hoping to work in areas that relate to ongoing research at the Centre. The research interests of the Centre and its staff include the history of the Holocaust in Europe, other cases of mass violence in 20th Century Europe (especially central and eastern Europe) and its colonies, as well as memory in post-violence societies including Holocaust representation. The list of possible research areas include:

- History of the Holocaust

- Genocide Studies

- History of Germany/Germanophone Europe

- History of the Balkans

- The origins and consequences of mass violence

- Holocaust representation

- Public and national memory of mass conflicts

- Media and the representation of mass violence

- Post-conflict memorialisation and heritage
