UK: AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Studentship in The Jewish Diaspora In Wales, Bangor University

Overview

The project

Dr. Nathan Abrams
Closing date for applications: 25 June 2010
Start date for project: 1 October 2010

The successful applicant will undertake a doctoral thesis on the history of the Jewish communities of Wales between 1945 and the present.

The project will include a study of the position in south Wales as a central element, and this will be rendered possible by access to the private archives, the contacts and the official support of the Cardiff Reform Synagogue and access to other communities through the South Wales Representative Council.

The student will also examine the position of the Jewish community and its relations with other ethnic and religious bodies.

The thesis will also embrace the scattered Jewish communities of north Wales and the Synagogue will help the project to access material relating to, and to develop understanding of, these communities and families, and the ways in which they retained their faith through contacts within and beyond Wales.

Eligible Candidates

We especially welcome applications from students holding an M.A. or equivalent in a relevant subject.

Preference will be given to candidates with some practical experience of the use of oral evidence and/or knowledge of British-Jewish (or other minority) history. Those who have other academic or professional qualifications (such as in Museum Studies) will also be considered.

Applications are open to both EU and non-EU citizens, assuming that they fulfill the relevant residency criteria (contact Dr Abrams for further details).

This AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Studentship will be based in the Graduate School of the College of Arts and Humanities at Bangor University in collaboration with Cardiff Reform Synagogue and the South Wales Representative Council.


Amount Awarded

The studentship is worth £13,290 in maintenance per annum with an additional £500 for travel expenses (the studentship also includes the fees of £3390 per annum), tenable for three years and subject to a probationary period and an annual assessment regarding academic progress, from 1 October 2010.
