Fellowship stipend available, Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons, UK

To celebrate two centuries of world-leading research on these extraordinary collections, and thanks to the generosity of the Board of Trustees of the Hunterian Collection, a stipend is available to attract a visiting researcher to spend a period of collections-related study at the Royal College of Surgeons.

The College’s Museums and Archives seek an outstanding scholar to work on the collections in the academic year 2013–14, to further enhance knowledge and understanding of the collections and to generate valuable academic and/or engagement outputs, with a stipend of up to £15,000.

The proposed work may contribute to one or more of a variety of disciplines: anatomy, anthropology, archaeology, dentistry, cultural/social history, medical history and medical humanities, medical sciences, museology, palaeontology, pathology, veterinary medicine and zoology. Interdisciplinary projects are especially encouraged, as well as those that will explore new areas of, or perspectives on, the collections.

The deadline for applications is 10 March 2013. For more details on the fellowship see the link below.
