We support postgraduate research through our Reading Rooms and online resources, through collaborative projects, and through research training events.
These partnerships explore and open up our collections to enhance our engagement with different research and public audiences.
Collaborative doctoral research
We co-supervise doctoral research in partnership with universities from across the country, covering a range of disciplines and subject areas. This includes projects developed through the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships programme.Future opportunities for Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships and studentships for forthcoming projects will be advertised here when available.
Doctoral training partnerships
We also work closely with university partners to support postgraduate research training initiatives across all disciplines. We are currently a partner in the following AHRC and ESRC doctoral training consortia:
- CHASE Doctoral Training Partnership
- White Rose College of the Arts and Humanities (WRoCAH)
- CEELBAS Centre for Doctoral Training for Russian, Slavonic and East European languages
- The North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP)
- North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership (NWCDTP)
PhD research placement scheme
Our annual placement scheme offers doctoral researchers from all disciplines the chance to develop and apply transferrable skills and expertise outside the university sector. Projects cover activities ranging from vital support for cataloguing, conservation and interpretation to policy research, resource development and research engagement.
