Centre for History in Public Health, LSHTM

The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is pleased to invite applications for a three-year full-time PhD studentship, starting in early January 2022, funded by a donation from the Wilkinson Charitable Trust.

The Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Studentship is available to applicants interested in pursuing a PhD project in the history of public health.

The exact focus of the project will be developed by the successful candidate, in discussion with their proposed supervisor. The research project will be supervised by one of the Centre for History in Public Health (CHiPH) staff.

The studentship award covers: tuition fees (at the LSHTM Home fee rate); a tax-free stipend at the UKRI Studentship rate; and up to GBP 2,000.00 per annum research training support grant.

Applications close on Sunday 3 October 2021.
