University, UK, for the academic year 2008-09
The Centre for the History of Medicine and Disease (CHMD) invites
applications for a one-year Masters studentship in the History of
Medicine. The closing date for applications is 31 March 2008.
The studentship is part of the Taught Masters Programme in History and
Philosophy of Science and Medicine (HPSM) of Durham University's
Department of Philosophy, the CHMD, and the School of Medicine & Health.
It is placed within the framework of the Northern Centre for the History
of Medicine, a partnership between the universities of Durham and
Newcastle, and funded from a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award which had
been awarded to the Northern Centre. It will be available as of October
2008.
The Masters studentship cover fees at home/EU level plus c. £16,000
maintenance. The successful applicant will register for the HPSM
programme offered by the Department of Philosophy and the School of
Medicine & Health as of October 2008.
This one-year (two years part-time) programme combines historical and
philosophical approaches to medicine and science. In particular, it
provides students with a deeper understanding of historical, cultural
and philosophical issues in science and medicine from Antiquity up to
the present day. One of its primary aims is to show students how the
humanities are relevant to a deeper understanding of past and present
medical and scientific issues. The breadth of the course's methods
ranges from socio-cultural models to analytical approaches. The
programme provides the necessary research training that will either link
into further PhD study or act as a stand alone MA; and candidates who
have successfully completed the programme will be eligible to take part
in the annual Wellcome Trust PhD studentship competition. Further
information on the HPSM Masters Programme and the teaching staff can be
found on the website at http://www.dur.ac.uk/hpsm.ma/index.html.
Applications for the studentship are invited from highly motivated
graduates from various backgrounds including arts and humanities
subjects, science, and medicine (including medical students who have
successfully completed stage 4 - i.e. four years of medical training -
of a qualifying medical degree at an approved university) with a high
mark on their first degree (or equivalent) who will commit themselves to
a dissertation on a subject within the History of Medicine. Overseas
applicants are also strongly encouraged to apply.
We are particularly welcoming applications that link into research
interests within the CHMD. Please see the CHMD website for further
information (www.dur.ac.uk/chmd) or email the Director
(a.h.maehle@durham.ac.uk) or Deputy Director
(l.d.sauerteig@durham.ac.uk) of the CHMD for further advice.
Applications must include (a) a statement of up to 400 words outlining
your reasons for wanting to pursue postgraduate study in HPSM and
