The overall purpose of this funding opportunity is to enable early career post-doctoral (or equivalent) researchers to gain research and career experience in the galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) sector.
You must do this through working in a major cultural or heritage host organisation, on a co-designed research project that will also benefit the host organisation.
Examples of broad research themes that would contribute to AHRC’s vision include:
- diversifying histories and narratives, uncovering underexplored collections and opening up opportunities for more inclusive engagement with heritage
- realising the cultural capital of under-studied collections and other cultural assets
- contextualising collections and heritages and exploring how they can inform better understanding of ourselves
- advancing how we conserve and curate our cultural infrastructure to serve the needs of future generations, including innovative applications of digital technologies, data, design thinking or creative methods
- developing innovative ways for cultural assets to:
- provide support for diverse, inclusive, healthy, sustainable and prosperous places and communities
- foster constructive civic discourse
- help address wider societal challengers
