About the SGSAH Doctoral Internship and Artist in Residence Programme

The Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities (SGSAH) works in partnership with organisations from all sectors to create paid doctoral internship and artist residency opportunities for arts and humanities postgraduate researchers at Scottish institutions.

The programme enables organisations to access the talent of researchers to deliver a specific piece of work or project. Researchers add tangible value to a host organisation whilst developing their own marketable skills and expertise.

SGSAH is currently inviting proposals for their 2017/18 programme, for projects starting late 2017 or early 2018. for details visit: Doctoral Internship and Artist in Residence Programme 2017/18
