The Polish School of Medicine in Edinburgh 70th Anniversary Ph.D. Scholarship

Overview

One scholarship will be awarded in 2011 to the best full time applicant who meets the criteria below and is accepted onto a Ph.D. in History in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at Edinburgh University.

The scholarship will be awarded over three years and comprise a stipend of £13,500 pa and tuition fees at UK/EU rates.

Background

The Polish School of Medicine was established in Edinburgh in 1941 in the wake of German occupation of Poland and trained over 300 men and women in a comprehensive undergraduate medical education programme. Clinical teaching took place at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and other hospitals including the Paderewski Memorial Hospital, which was opened in 1941 at the Western General Hospital. The history and celebration of the Polish School of Medicine has given rise to an extensive archive of documents and photographs that is housed in the Edinburgh University Centre for Research Collections and is largely un-catalogued.


The PSM 70th Anniversary Doctoral Project, starting in September 2011, will be based in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology with funding from the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and the Polish School of Medicine Historical Collection Fund. It will be part supervised from the EU Centre for Research Collections and will include, from the second year, the student's involvement in the cataloguing of the PSM paper archive.

Criteria

•The successful applicant will develop a doctoral project on any aspect of the history of the Polish School of Medicine in Edinburgh and will also undertake a parallel project in archive cataloguing and recording.
•Candidates must be bilingual in English and Polish and be suitably qualified at undergraduate and masters degree level.
•The successful applicant will be required to undertake archives management training as part of this project.
