The three studentships will explore the transmission, interpretation and transformation of texts, ideas, beliefs and practices about food, drink, and consumption between geographical locations, cultural contexts and historical moments, and by diverse social groups. Each project will be primarily based at one of the three White Rose universities - Leeds, Sheffield and York - but students will be co-supervised by staff from two institutions and will benefit from the input of the wider network team.

The White Rose College (WRoCAH) is an Doctoral Training Partnership of the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York responsible for the distribution of AHRC-funded studentships and for the co-ordination of a doctoral training programme.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree (2:1 or above, or equivalent) and be studying for, or have completed, a Masters degree with a substantial focus (e.g. a dissertation) in one or more of the following areas: early modern history; medieval history; early modern literature or language; medieval literature or language; classics.

The deadline for applications is 5 pm on 13 June 2014.
