Academics at UK universities and Higher Education Institutions are now invited to collaborate with the British Library on jointly supervised PhD studentships fully funded for four years through the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships scheme. We are seeking proposals for four PhD projects, to start in October 2025, developed on the basis of our specially selected research themes listed below.

We now welcome applicants from academics of postdoctoral status currently employed at UK universities/Higher Education Institutions who would be interested in joint supervision of a collaborative doctoral project beginning in October 2025: ‘Eighteenth-Century Knowledge Work in the Harleian Collection.’
