PhD Studentship

Medicine, Emotion and Disease in History

The Centre for the History of the Emotions at Queen Mary, University of London is pleased to

announce a PhD studentship to cover fees and maintenance from 2012 to 2015.

This three-year studentship comprises part of a five-year Wellcome Trust Enhancement Award in the

History of Medicine to fund a research project – ‘Medicine, Emotion and Disease in History’ – which

investigates how theories, experiences, and expressions of passions and emotions have developed in

medical contexts since the sixteenth century.

The studentship is fully funded, providing a generous maintenance grant at the rate paid by the

Wellcome Trust. Fees are also covered by the Wellcome Trust, at the rate for home students. There will

also be access to further funds for travel and research expenses.

The studentship will be awarded to an exceptional candidate proposing to undertake a programme of

doctoral research connected to the aims of the project. Applicants will normally have attained (or

expect to attain by the end of 2011-12) a Masters qualification that will equip them to pursue doctoral

research in this area.

The competition is open to applicants studying any historical period from the 16th century to the

present.
