Info Beasiswa PhD studentship at Imperial College, London, UK

The Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at Imperial
College London invites applications for the Hans Rausing PhD studentship,
starting in the 2009/10 academic year.

The history of science and technology has been taught and researched at
Imperial College London since 1963, and CHoSTM in its current form was
established in 1992. In the recent Research Assessment Exercise, CHoSTM
was awarded the highest rating of all 83 UK history departments. 40% of its
research was classed as world-leading in terms of originality, significance and
rigor, with another 40% judged internationally excellent.

The Hans Rausing award is open to home, EU and overseas students who hold
or are about to complete an MSc in the history of science, technology and
medicine or related field. Applicants should posses an outstanding academic
track record and strong research potential.

The proposed topic should relate to the history of science and / or
technology. Proposals in the history of medicine are not eligible for
consideration.

The award covers fees (at home or overseas rates) and a stipend equivalent
to that offered by the AHRC. Continuation of the award is subject to the
holder making satisfactory progress each year on the doctoral programme
