Two PhD studentships in medieval literature and medieval studies

Posted on 20 December 2013

The Centre for Medieval Literature is offering two fully-funded doctoral studentships for study at either the Department of English or the Centre for Medieval Studies.

The Centre for Medieval Literature (CML) is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation until 2022. It is jointly based at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU in Odense) and the University of York (UK).  Research at the Centre is organized into three areas: languages, fictionality, and canon formation, with an integrated European approach to the study of medieval literature from Scandinavia to the Middle East.

Candidates for the awards will be expected to demonstrate their commitment to collaboration across disciplines and languages and how they will contribute to the teamwork integral to the CML.

Award holders will be based at York and will work with Professor Elizabeth Tyler, though topics may be single- or co-supervised at York or co-supervised across York and the SDU.  They will spend at leat one term in Odense.  There will be exceptional opportunities for training, including in languages and palaeography.

For full details of these and other awards for postgraduate study, see our Funding and Money page.
