Doctoral Award - 22 July 2005

Tate Britain/Courtauld Institute of Art Collaborative Doctoral Award

closing date: 22 July 2005

Applications are invited for a Tate-supported PhD studentship at the
Courtauld Institute of Art to undertake original research into the
Expansion of the London Art Market during the period of the French
Wars (1793-1815) and its Implications for the Development of the
British School. The studentship will commence in October 2005.

The PhD will be undertaken under the supervision of Professor David
Solkin with support from Tate curatorial staff, in the context of the
production of a major Tate Britain exhibition, Turner and the
Masters, which is scheduled for the Autumn of 2009. In addition to
completing the PhD, the student will be expected to draw upon her/his
research to write a major essay for the catalogue, and to work one
day per week as part of the organisational team; in the process he or
she will gain a broad range of administrative and curatorial
experience, as well as contributing to the advancement of scholarship
on British Romantic art.

The award has been funded by Tate at a level equivalent to an AHRC
doctoral fellowship, providing a maintenance grant of £12,500 p.a.
for three years from October 2005. An additional sum of at least
£1000 will be contributed by the Courtauld Institute of Art for
training and other research-related expenses attached to this
studentship.

Application forms, with two references, to the Academic Registrar,
Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN
