EXTENDED DEADLINE FOR FUNDED PhD STUDENTSHIPS ON 'ENGLISH MANUSCRIPTS 1060 TO 1220' PROJECT

The deadline for applications for the two studentships attached to the AHRC-funded 'English Manuscripts 1060 to 1220' project has been extended to 14 August 2006. The studentships are open to UK and EU nationals.

Please tell any students you know who might be interested in applying for the Leicester or Leeds studentship, or for both. We're particularly interested in applications from students who have experience in Old or Middle English literary/linguistic/manuscript studies. If you know students who have already made regular AHRC PhD applications, do tell them that they're welcome to apply for an English Manuscripts project studentship as well, since by the time we announce our decision, the AHRC is likely to have made its own announcements to applicants for its regular PhD studentships.

Full details of the studentships can be found at http://www.le.ac.uk/ee/em1060to1220/index.htm. Potential applicants who would like to discuss the studentships are very welcome to contact Elaine Treharne (emt1@leicester.ac.uk) or Mary Swan (m.t.swan@leeds.ac.uk) directly.
