Applications are invited for a G. R. Elton Postgraduate Scholarship in early modern British and early modern European history. The Scholarship, of approximately £6,000 a year, will normally be awarded for up to three years, to graduates who have been approved for a course of studies leading to a Cambridge Ph.D. Degree.
The postgraduate scholarship is open to candidates without regard to gender or nationality. The successful student will be expected to pursue her or his studies as a graduate member of Clare College.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, details of applications for other grants, and the intended programme of research (including not more than one A4 page describing the proposed research project).
Candidates should arrange for confidential references (including the likely degree result if it has not yet been obtained) from two referees, to be sent directly to the Graduate Admissions Tutor at Clare College, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1TL.
Applications must reach the Graduate Administrator at the address above no later than 24 April 2009 for entry on 1 October 2009.
