Dear Colleagues,

My apologies in advance for cross-posting and if this message is not
directly relevant to you.

I would be most grateful if, through your networks,  you could forward
this email onto potential PhD candidates who would be interested in
applying for a scholarship to undertake research in the broad field of
cultural heritage within the Ironbridge International Institute for
Cultural Heritage based at the University of Birmingham.

The deadline for applications is quite tight but the form is straightforward.

The University of Birmingham's College of Arts and Law is pleased to
announce significant investment in its PhD scholarships. In 2013-14 it is
offering a substantial number of College, School and University awards in
addition to 13 AHRC block grant funded PhD scholarships.

The College of Arts and Law has its own Graduate School, a vibrant
community of over 1500 postgraduate students. We benefit from excellent
research resources and a supportive environment that allows research to
flourish. Located at the University of Birmingham's main Edgbaston campus,
we have a dedicated space and top class facilities that encourage
interaction between disciplines and research areas to put students amongst
like-minded people, giving them the stimulation, support and challenges
they need.

The Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage welcomes

to explore the broad field of cultural heritage. We welcome applications
