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 of Leicester 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.
