PhD studentship at Kings College London for Jan or Sept start

King’s College London is inviting applications for a Professor Sir Richard Trainor PhD Scholarship in the Departments of History and Film Studies, in collaboration with the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket.

The project is entitled 'Making the modern racehorse in Britain, c1920-2020', and is suitable for a student with an MA in history, history of STM, museum studies, film studies or other related area. It will involve work on the collections of the recently redeveloped National Horseracing Museum (https://www.palacehousenewmarket.co.uk/collections/national-horseracing-museum), and provide opportunities to contribute to the museums's future temporary exhibition programme, publication strategy and public engagement events.

The successful candidate will join a thriving group of KCL PhD students working on aspects of animal history, and will be expected to contribute to the activities they organise under the Animal History Group (https://animalhistorygroup.wordpress.com/ )
