A PhD studentship is available as part of Leverhulme Trust-funded research project ‘The Material Culture of Wills: England 1540-1790’. The successful applicant will join a project team that are using cutting-edge digital humanities techniques to automate the transcription of 25,000 wills from the National Archives. They will be provided with a pre-populated database of these wills to analyse for their PhD research. The PhD will be jointly supervised by Professor Jane Whittle and Dr Laura Sangha (University of Exeter). The deadline for applications is 1 May 2024.
