Recruiting a researcher on an AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Project between The British Museum (Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas) and the University of Lincoln (Department of History)

Project title: ‘Reconnecting museum collections with ecological knowledge in East Africa, 1870-1930.’

See further details in this link: Research Studentships | Postgraduate Study | University of Lincoln (go to drop down menu and click ‘AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership’.)

This is a 4-year studentship (can also be done part time) which will include work with collections, archival research and research with communities in East Africa.

There is scope for the researcher to put their own stamp on this project. We are looking for someone with an interest in this subject to help shape critical work on museum collections and ecological knowledge, while earning a PhD and developing their own practice/expertise.
