AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) studentship

Iconographies of change: currency and medals of Iran’s Pahlavi regime

The British Museum, and the University of St Andrews are pleased to announce the availability of a fully funded Collaborative doctoral studentship from October 2023 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme.

This project will be jointly supervised by Dr Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis and Dr Tom Hockenhull at the British Museum and Professor Ali Ansari and Dr Siavush Randjbar-Daemi at the University of St Andrews. The student will be expected to spend time at both The British Museum and University of St Andrews, as well as becoming part of the wider cohort of CDP funded students across the UK. The studentship can be studied either full or part-time.

We encourage the widest range of potential students to study for this CDP studentship and are committed to welcoming students from different backgrounds to apply. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, Minority, Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds as they are currently underrepresented at this level in this area.  Students should have a Master’s Degree in a relevant subject or can demonstrate equivalent experience in a professional setting.

More information on the project and how to apply is available at this link.

Deadline for applications: 9 June 2023

Start date: 1 October 2023
