Bourse de Master de la Wellcome Trust

Wellcome Trust Master’s studentship in History of Medicine/Medical Humanities

Call for applications

The University of Manchester’s Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) has been awarded a number of fully funded Master’s studentships by the Wellcome Trust as part of its commitment to building an influential and diverse population of future researchers in the medical humanities and social sciences. 

CHSTM invites applicants for Wellcome studentships for the 2019-20 academic year, covering full fees at the UK/EU rate plus living allowance for study on our taught Master’s programme in History of Science, Technology and Medicine

Applicants must be strongly committed to building a research career relevant to the themes covered by the Wellcome Trust’s Humanities and Social Sciences schemes. You will have a clear proposal for a Master’s-level research project which will serve as preparation for doctoral study. Applicants who wish to specialize within a specific medical humanities discipline, such as historians who seek to build a career in the history of medicine, are encouraged to propose discipline specific research proposals. Applicants must be committed to pursuing research which examines health and/or medicine from a historically informed humanities perspective. Synergies with current areas of research activity within CHSTM are desirable. 

Expressions of interest may be directed to Dr Rob Kirk (robert.g.kirk@manchester.ac.uk). 

Application information and deadlines 

Applications should be sent to Dr Kirk at the email address above no later than Sunday 31 March 2019. Your application should include: 
  • a brief CV, with details of undergraduate degree held or being undertaken 
  • details of the research proposed (maximum of two pages), including (a) an outline of a your proposed Master’s-level research project and (b) a short indication of your anticipated doctoral research area
  • a letter of support from a current academic sponsor 

The successful applicant will be chosen by a committee of research-active University of Manchester staff who work across medical history and humanities.
