Details: Call for Applications: British Library PhD placement scheme
The British Library invites applications to its PhD placement scheme. 14 different placement projects are being offered under this current Call. These have been selected to support teams based across the Library to carry out a range of projects and activities, whilst also providing unique professional development opportunities for PhD researchers. It is not necessary for the project to relate directly to your PhD topic or specific research interests. Rather, we see these placements as a means to develop and apply transferable research, communications and analytical skills outside the university sector.
Under the current Call, placements are available in a range of areas, including:
– “The Printed Books of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), Physician and Collector”
– “Charting the King’s Maritime Collection”
Each project offers bespoke training and professional development opportunities, plus wide scope to shape the specific focus of the activities and outputs around your own interests and expertise.

The application deadline is February 20 2017. Interviews will take place in March/April 2017.
