The London Renaissance Seminar invites postgraduate students (MPhil /Phd) at Birkbeck to apply for two research internships 2015-16.
The London Renaissance Seminar hosts and organises a variety of events from half-day symposia to lectures, larger conferences and single lectures. Most events are open to audiences. Anyone with an interest in the Renaissance is welcome to attend. Seminars are usually held in the School of Arts, 43 Gordon Square.
The internship is open to all postgraduate students at Birkbeck and is likely to be particularly rewarding for those working in a historical or literary field in the early modern period.
The postholders will (a) have a shared budget of £325 to fund a research-led event of their choice under the auspices and with the guidance of LRS, and (b) to participate in steering and above all maintaining the Seminar during the academic year 2015-16 – liaising with event organisers at Birkbeck and beyond, working with the two involved members of the Steering Committee, ensuring the updating of the website, advertising and liaising with projects (such as the Marston editing project), academics at Birkbeck and beyond and the Birkbeck administration particularly within the School of Arts.
