Two fully funded positions in medieval history are now available in connection with a project examining Jerusalem as a holy site for Christians by the medieval Franciscan Order:

Ideal candidates may come from a medieval history background, but the fields of art history, religion, literature, and archaeology are equally germane so long as candidates are able to access Latin and other medieval texts. 

Please forward!

I am pleased to announce that funding has become available here at Swansea University for two PhD studentships focusing on aspects of the literary, spiritual and historical landscapes of Wales and its borderlands during the Middle Ages and we very much welcome a gender focus. Full details of this opportunity can be found on the College of Arts and Humanities website at: http://www.swansea.ac.uk/riah/graduate-centre/fully-funded-studentships-2012-13/ . I would be grateful if you would pass this information on to anybody whom you think may be interested.
