PhD Studentship in Renaissance Tomb Monuments, UK
PhD Studentship,Renaissance Tomb Monuments,University of Leicester,UK
Job Description: Applications are sought for one doctoral studentship at the Faculty of History, University of Oxford, as part of the AHRC / EPSRC Science and Heritage project ‘Representing Re-Formation: Reconstructing Renaissance Monuments’.
The project will study the group of Renaissance tombs of the Howard Dukes of Norfolk in Framlingham parish church, Suffolk, and the related fragments of these and other tombs excavated at Thetford Priory in the 1930s. The aim is not just to formulate a new understanding of the monuments, but also to present that understanding to the public in innovative ways.
The aim of this doctoral thesis – one of three in the project – will be to help set the Howard tombs within multiple contexts. The primary objectives will be:
* to chart Northern European tomb-design between c.1500 and c. 1575
* to develop typologies of monumental design with particular reference to developments in France
* to contribute to the study of English monumental sculpture in the period
* to assist in the virtual reconstruction of another monument whose excavated components are currently without any parallel
The successful applicant will collaborate with the project team, including two other doctoral students: one based in the University of Oxford, supervised by Dr S.J. Gunn, working on ‘Noble Identity and Commemoration in England, 1485-1572: The Howard Family in Context’; and another based at the University of Leicester studying the adaptation of space science techniques to the scanning, analysis, and virtual assembly of the extant tombs and excavated tomb fragments, supervised by Professor G. Fraser of the Space Science Centre.
