The Department of Classics, Ancient History, Archaeology and Egyptology at the University of Manchester is pleased to invite applications for funded doctoral study in Archaeology, including Aegean Archaeology. Funding is available through the AHRC North West Consortium Doctoral Training Programme (Heritage Pathway) and through PhD Awards from the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures.
Archaeology at the University of Manchester includes academic experts in a broad range of aspects covering the Palaeolithic to the Iron Age and stretching from Britain and northern Europe to Greece and Near East. Thematically, our research foci revolve around a number of broad themes, such as history, theory and practice of Archaeology; the archaeology of cultural identity; landscape, monuments and architecture; technology and society; death and the body; and archaeological heritage and the contemporary significance of the past.
Archaeology is part of a department that also includes Classics, Ancient History and Egyptology, thus offering unique opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to the past. We are part of the Manchester Centre of Archaeology and Egyptology (https://www.mcae.manchester.ac.uk) which brings together scholars from the Biomedical, Geological and Biomolecular sciences, as well as the Museum who regularly act as co-supervisors to our students. The Department comprises over 20 permanent staff plus several temporary staff including postdocs, a dedicated fieldwork and lab technician, a departmental reference library and common room. Our doctoral students participate in a thriving disciplinary research culture. We have regular research seminars and have a weekly departmental lunch for all staff and postgraduates. Many of our students undertake some undergraduate teaching following appropriate training. For further details, please visit our departmental staff profiles website here.
