PhD Research Studentships

‘Population Displacement, State Practice and Social Experience in the USSR
and Eastern Europe, 1930-1950s’

A United Kingdom Arts & Humanities Research Board Research Project

Following the award of an AHRB grant for a four-year research project
investigating forced migration in Eastern Europe and the USSR during the
middle decades of the 20th century, Professor Peter Gatrell (University of
Manchester) and Dr Nick Baron (University of Nottingham) invite
applications for two PhD studentships attached to this project.  These
represent exciting opportunities for graduates to pursue bold and
innovative research within an international team of established academics.
Students should formulate proposals for research topics related to the
following themes:

1) The activities of UK-based welfare organisations towards East European
displaced persons after 1945 (to be based at the University of Manchester,
supervised by Professor Gatrell).  For this topic a working knowledge of
Polish, Ukrainian, Latvian or Lithuanian is desirable.  Please quote ref.
PG/01.

2) The cultural representation of displacement and migrants in the USSR
and/or Eastern Europe, 1930s-1950s (at the University of Nottingham,
supervised by Dr Baron).  For this topic a working knowledge of Russian,
Polish, Ukrainian, Latvian or Lithuanian is essential.  Please quote ref.
NB/01.

Each studentship covers tuition fees and provides a maintenance grant in
line with AHRB guidelines (expected to be £10,500 in 2004/05) for three
years, subject to satisfactory progress.  The project includes provisions
for overseas study visits, and students will be eligible to apply for AHRB
allowances for UK study visits and overseas conference attendance.

Students may apply for both studentships, but separate applications to the
relevant institution must be submitted for each award.
