AnthoTox is a new cross-disciplinary platform under the University of Oslo’s Life Science initiative, linking Social Anthropology and the Institutes of Bioscience, of Health and Society and the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture. It engages social anthropology, STS, history, environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology to understand and manage global human-made toxicants and their origins, trajectories and effects - biological, social, cultural, economic, political, ethical.

A PAPER WORLD: THE COLLECTION & INVESTIGATION OF PLANT MATERIALS FOR PAPER MAKING, C.1830-1914
AHRC PhD Studentship
Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship on the history of collections of plant materials for paper making at Royal Holloway, University of London, in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This award, tenable for three years and covering both fees and an enhanced maintenance grant, is made by the TECHNE AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership under the National Productivity Investment Fund Partnership Award scheme. The project, due to begin in September 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter, will be supervised by Professor Felix Driver (at Royal Holloway) and Dr Mark Nesbitt (RBG Kew).
The Project
Innovations in the technology of print and the vast expansion of publishing during the nineteenth century stimulated the global search for new sources of paper. A wide variety of natural sources for paper-making were experimented with prior to the large-scale mechanisation of papermaking using wood pulp from the 1880s. While the economics of papermaking attracted the attention of industrialists and botanists, there was also a longstanding ethnographic interest in techniques of indigenous papermaking, stimulated by the accounts of overseas travellers and explorers. This combination of economic and ethnographic interest inspired the assembling of collections of different types of paper, analogous to collections of indigenous textiles in the period. Focussing on the unrivalled collection of plant materials and manufactured papers from many parts of the world held in the Economic Botany Collection at Kew, the studentship provides an opportunity to explore the economic, cultural and technical significance of the search for alternative sources of material for paper making during the Victorian era. The PhD thesis is likely to take the form of a series of well-chosen case studies, raising wider questions concerning the formation of knowledge about raw materials, technologies and commodities. In addition to work with the Economic Botany Collection at Kew, the project will involve archival research in official, business and private papers at Kew and elsewhere in the UK. There will also be opportunities within the public programmes of RBG Kew to present this research to wider audiences. The project forms part of an ongoing research collaboration between Royal Holloway and Kew Gardens, including a large AHRC project led by the co-supervisors ('The Mobile Museum: Economic Botany in Circulation').
The Studentship
The studentship includes a stipend of £16,553 (plus fees at home/EU rates) for three years. There is an additional NPIF £550 per year to facilitate engagement with the Partner, and students can apply for an additional six months stipend to engage in extended development activities such as work placements. As a TECHNE student, the successful candidate will have full access to the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership development activities and networking opportunities, joining a cohort of about 50 students per year from across seven universities in London and the south-east. TECHNE students can apply for additional funding to support individual or group training and development activities.
Applicants should have a good undergraduate degree in history, geography, anthropology or other relevant discipline. Preference may be given to candidates with prior experience in working with material culture, museum and/or archival collections, though others are encouraged to apply. Applicants must meet the UK/EU residency requirements as described in paragraphs 43-46 of the 'Conditions of Research Council Training Grants' and comply with conditions set out in the AHRC Training Grant Funding Guide.
How to Apply
Applicants should submit (1) a two-page curriculum vitae, including contact details of one academic referee, and (2) a 1-2 page letter outlining your qualification for the studentship to: Professor Felix Driver, Dept of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX (f.driver@rhul.ac.uk<https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/mailcontacts/f.driver++rhul+ac+uk>) no later than 4 August 2017.
Interviews are scheduled to be held at Kew on 16 August 2017.

The Daimler and Benz Foundation is guided by clear principles.

Scholarships may not be used for living costs or as a replacement for the typical expenses of research institutes (for example, overhead and printing costs as well as running costs such as basic chemicals, paper, etc.).

Applicants can only apply for a grant for their own research project. It can either be for an expansion of an already running research project or a completely new project.

The primary target group in the EDUFI Fellowship programme are such Doctoral level students who will be doing their Doctorate (or Double Doctorate) at a Finnish university. Visiting Doctoral-level students and researchers who are doing their Doctorate degree at some foreign university can also be considered eligible, provided that the motivation letter of the hosting Finnish university department presents exceptionally good grounds for such an application.
The programme is open for candidates of all foreign nationalities. However, when decisions on scholarship are made, emphasis is given to applicants from Russia, China, India, Chile, Brazil and North America.
The scholarship period may vary from 3 to 12 months. The monthly allowance is 1500 euros. The scholarship is intended to cover living expenses in Finland for a single person. No additional allowance for housing is paid. Expenses due to international travel to and from Finland are not covered by the programme.
NB: the EDUFI Fellowship is a start-up grant rather than a full degree scholarship, so if you for example receive an EDUFI Fellowship for 12 months, after that period you should seek other sources of funding for the remaining period of your studies/research.
If you are already residing in Finland, please note that the Doctoral students/researchers for whom the Finnish universities can apply for an EDUFI Fellowship should not have resided in Finland for more than one (1) year prior to submitting an EDUFI Fellowship application. If you have resided in Finland longer than that, please refer to the section Other sources of funding.
HOW TO APPLY
The prerequisite for applying is that the visiting researcher must have established contacts with a Finnish host university - please see the section Doctoral Admissions for further information (you'll find links to the universities' Doctoral Admissions pages there). You are also advised to visit the Finnish universities' own websites for detailed information on the Doctoral level study and research options the universities offer.
If a Finnish university is willing to host you, then the Finnish university department wishing to host you can apply for the EDUFI Fellowship on your behalf. That is, only the hosting Finnish university can act as an 'applicant' in the EDUFI Fellowship programme.
The application form for the EDUFI Fellowship can be downloaded below. Additionally, the following attachments are required for a EDUFI Fellowship application:
A motivation letter from the applicant (the hosting university), max 1 page
Complete CV of the scholarship candidate
Research plan (3-5 pages)
Two printed and signed copies of the application with required attachments should be submitted to the following address: Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI), PO Box 380, 00531 Helsinki. Please mark the envelope with “EDUFI Fellowships”.
WHEN TO APPLY
There are no annual application deadlines in the EDUFI Fellowship programme. Applications may be considered at all times. However, applications should be submitted at least 5 months before the intended scholarship period. Decisions will be made within approximately 3 months after receipt of application.

FELLOWSHIP IN THE BINATIONAL RESEARCH TANDEM PROGRAM
in Global and Trans-Regional History, German Historical
Institute, Washington DC
A member institution of the Max Weber Foundation -
International Humanities, the German Historical Institute
Washington is a distinguished non-university affiliated
historical research institute, conducting inter- and
transdisciplinary research with a transatlantic focus. Its
fellowship program promotes cutting-edge research in
history and related disciplines and international exchange
of scholars. For this purpose, the GHI in cooperation with
the BMW Center for German and European Studies at
Georgetown University is now offering German and
North American scholars the opportunity to develop
binational research tandems which link up two
academics, one from Germany and one from North
America, to work on projects which engage with global
history or use transregional approaches and contain
productive areas of overlap either in their topics or in
their conceptual frameworks. The tandem program
presents an excellent opportunity for scholars from
Germany and North America to develop their expertise
by collaborating closely, to work with additional
resources and to make connections with others in
their fields.
Areas of research the GHI is going to develop in the next
years are "History of Knowledge," "Religion and Ethnicity,"
and "Spaces and Symbolic Boundaries." The institute has
also developed a strong interest in "Digital history."
Projects that address one of these fields or relate to
them in any way are particularly welcome; we are,
however, also happy to consider applications focusing
on other topics.
The program is designed for postdoctoral, mid-career,
and established historians from Germany and North
America. In order to ensure successful collaboration,
our preference is for applicants to already have
identified their potential tandem partner. We welcome
applications from both long-standing binational
partnerships as well as from newly created partnerships
for the purposes of the fellowship. Preference will also
be given to candidates doing original research for a new
book project.
.
The deadline for applications is August 1, 2017.

FREIGEIST FELLOWSHIPS FOR INTERNATIONAL RESEARCHERS IN GERMANY, 2017
Volkswagen Foundation is offering fellowship for international young researchers in all disciplines. Ten to fifteen fellowships for researchers will be awarded per year.
The Freigeist funding initiative provides an opportunity for outstandingly qualified, creative and independent early career researchers to conduct their own research. It aims to encourage exceptional research personalities to embark on visionary, risk-taking research projects at the intersections between established fields of research.
The ‘Freigeist’ initiative builds upon the previous funding scheme for junior research groups and the Dilthey- and Schumpeter Fellowships which were terminated recently.
Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).
Course Level: The fellowship is available for pursuing research programme at the university or research institution in Germany.
Study Subject(s): The ‘Freigeist’ scheme is deliberately open to all disciplines and topics.
Scholarship Award: Ten to fifteen Fellowships will be awarded per year. The initial funding period is five years; depending on the field of research and career experience, projects in a total amount of up to 1,000,000 Euro can be applied for:
The Fellow’s position (salary scale TV-L 14, comparable to similar junior research group leaders)
Positions for scientific personnel (doctoral students, PostDocs)
Non-personnel costs relevant to the project (e. g. consumables, travel expenses, equipment)
Important:
The Foundations does not grant any overheads.
In case the maximum amount of funding has not been fully taken up with the initial application, additional funds (so called modules) can be applied for during the course of the Fellowship to provide flexible support (e. g. for personnel, resources, sojourns abroad, cooperation measures, translations, workshops, stays at institutions representing other research fields). Applications for these modules should be submitted – if possible – within the context of annual reporting on the funded project.
A second funding period of up to three years may be provided. This requires a positive evaluation (by the Foundation), generally at the end of the fourth year, and a clear perspective for a permanent position for the Fellow at the host institution. The maximum funding for this second period amounts up to 400,000 Euro.
Scholarship can be taken in Germany
Eligibility: Anyone can apply who identifies with the goals of a ‘Freigeist’ Fellowship and whose proposed research project fits in with the aims pursued by the Freigeist initiative. Candidates must, however, conform to the following conditions:
Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).
The Fellowship must from the outset be integrated within a university or an extra-mural research institution in Germany.
Candidates must already have changed their academic environment and moved to a new location – at the latest when starting the Fellowship. A return to the working context of the doctorate will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances.
A previously completed research sojourn abroad, at the latest integrated in the proposed research project.
Nationality: The funding scheme is open to early-stage researchers of all nationalities.
College Admission Requirement
Entrance Requirement: Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).

A PAPER WORLD: THE COLLECTION & INVESTIGATION OF PLANT MATERIALS FOR PAPER MAKING, C.1830-1914
AHRC PhD Studentship
Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship on the history of collections of plant materials for paper making at Royal Holloway, University of London, in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This award, tenable for three years and covering both fees and an enhanced maintenance grant, is made by the TECHNE AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership under the National Productivity Investment Fund Partnership Award scheme. The project, due to begin in September 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter, will be supervised by Professor Felix Driver (at Royal Holloway) and Dr Mark Nesbitt (RBG Kew).
The Project
Innovations in the technology of print and the vast expansion of publishing during the nineteenth century stimulated the global search for new sources of paper. A wide variety of natural sources for paper-making were experimented with prior to the large-scale mechanisation of papermaking using wood pulp from the 1880s. While the economics of papermaking attracted the attention of industrialists and botanists, there was also a longstanding ethnographic interest in techniques of indigenous papermaking, stimulated by the accounts of overseas travellers and explorers. This combination of economic and ethnographic interest inspired the assembling of collections of different types of paper, analogous to collections of indigenous textiles in the period. Focussing on the unrivalled collection of plant materials and manufactured papers from many parts of the world held in the Economic Botany Collection at Kew, the studentship provides an opportunity to explore the economic, cultural and technical significance of the search for alternative sources of material for paper making during the Victorian era. The PhD thesis is likely to take the form of a series of well-chosen case studies, raising wider questions concerning the formation of knowledge about raw materials, technologies and commodities. In addition to work with the Economic Botany Collection at Kew, the project will involve archival research in official, business and private papers at Kew and elsewhere in the UK. There will also be opportunities within the public programmes of RBG Kew to present this research to wider audiences. The project forms part of an ongoing research collaboration between Royal Holloway and Kew Gardens, including a large AHRC project led by the co-supervisors ('The Mobile Museum: Economic Botany in Circulation').
The Studentship
The studentship includes a stipend of £16,553 (plus fees at home/EU rates) for three years. There is an additional NPIF £550 per year to facilitate engagement with the Partner, and students can apply for an additional six months stipend to engage in extended development activities such as work placements. As a TECHNE student, the successful candidate will have full access to the TECHNE Doctoral Training Partnership development activities and networking opportunities, joining a cohort of about 50 students per year from across seven universities in London and the south-east. TECHNE students can apply for additional funding to support individual or group training and development activities.
Applicants should have a good undergraduate degree in history, geography, anthropology or other relevant discipline. Preference may be given to candidates with prior experience in working with material culture, museum and/or archival collections, though others are encouraged to apply. Applicants must meet the UK/EU residency requirements as described in paragraphs 43-46 of the 'Conditions of Research Council Training Grants' and comply with conditions set out in the AHRC Training Grant Funding Guide.
How to Apply
Applicants should submit (1) a two-page curriculum vitae, including contact details of one academic referee, and (2) a 1-2 page letter outlining your qualification for the studentship to: Professor Felix Driver, Dept of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX (f.driver@rhul.ac.uk<https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/mailcontacts/f.driver++rhul+ac+uk>) no later than 4 August 2017.
Interviews are scheduled to be held at Kew on 16 August 2017.

The Daimler and Benz Foundation is guided by clear principles. Its core values include supporting young researchers, encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation, and promoting research in a wide-range of fields.

The bursar’s office of the research institute at which the scholarship recipient is working handles the actual disbursement of the grant. The grant is to be used at the discretion of the applicant primarily for the following purposes: special chemicals and kits, appliances, computers, temporary contracts for research assistants, research trips, participation at conferences, as well as organizational costs for their own conferences. Scholarships may not be used for living costs or as a replacement for the typical expenses of research institutes (for example, overhead and printing costs as well as running costs such as basic chemicals, paper, etc.).

The Foundation knowingly refuses to formulate a specific definition of “early phases” since the time period will be dependent on the academic field and can be evaluated in differing ways. Nonetheless, it should be clear from the application that the applicant has consciously decided to pursue a research career and is actively pursuing this goal. Applicants can only apply for a grant for their own research project. It can either be for an expansion of an already running research project or a completely new project. The Foundation hosts meetings at regular intervals in order to encourage exchanges between the grant recipients and to foster contact with the Foundation. Willingness to participate in these events is a prerequisite for obtaining a grant.

EDUFI FELLOWSHIPS
The EDUFI Fellowships programme is open to young Doctoral level students and researchers from all countries and from all academic fields. Master's level studies or post-doctoral studies/research are not supported in the programme.
The primary target group in the EDUFI Fellowship programme are such Doctoral level students who will be doing their Doctorate (or Double Doctorate) at a Finnish university. Visiting Doctoral-level students and researchers who are doing their Doctorate degree at some foreign university can also be considered eligible, provided that the motivation letter of the hosting Finnish university department presents exceptionally good grounds for such an application.
The programme is open for candidates of all foreign nationalities. However, when decisions on scholarship are made, emphasis is given to applicants from Russia, China, India, Chile, Brazil and North America.
The scholarship period may vary from 3 to 12 months. The monthly allowance is 1500 euros. The scholarship is intended to cover living expenses in Finland for a single person. No additional allowance for housing is paid. Expenses due to international travel to and from Finland are not covered by the programme.
NB: the EDUFI Fellowship is a start-up grant rather than a full degree scholarship, so if you for example receive an EDUFI Fellowship for 12 months, after that period you should seek other sources of funding for the remaining period of your studies/research.
If you are already residing in Finland, please note that the Doctoral students/researchers for whom the Finnish universities can apply for an EDUFI Fellowship should not have resided in Finland for more than one (1) year prior to submitting an EDUFI Fellowship application. If you have resided in Finland longer than that, please refer to the section Other sources of funding.
HOW TO APPLY
The prerequisite for applying is that the visiting researcher must have established contacts with a Finnish host university - please see the section Doctoral Admissions for further information (you'll find links to the universities' Doctoral Admissions pages there). You are also advised to visit the Finnish universities' own websites for detailed information on the Doctoral level study and research options the universities offer.
If a Finnish university is willing to host you, then the Finnish university department wishing to host you can apply for the EDUFI Fellowship on your behalf. That is, only the hosting Finnish university can act as an 'applicant' in the EDUFI Fellowship programme.
The application form for the EDUFI Fellowship can be downloaded below. Additionally, the following attachments are required for a EDUFI Fellowship application:
A motivation letter from the applicant (the hosting university), max 1 page
Complete CV of the scholarship candidate
Research plan (3-5 pages)

FELLOWSHIP IN THE BINATIONAL RESEARCH TANDEM PROGRAM
in Global and Trans-Regional History, German Historical
Institute, Washington DC
A member institution of the Max Weber Foundation -
International Humanities, the German Historical Institute
Washington is a distinguished non-university affiliated
historical research institute, conducting inter- and
transdisciplinary research with a transatlantic focus. Its
fellowship program promotes cutting-edge research in
history and related disciplines and international exchange
of scholars. For this purpose, the GHI in cooperation with
the BMW Center for German and European Studies at
Georgetown University is now offering German and
North American scholars the opportunity to develop
binational research tandems which link up two
academics, one from Germany and one from North
America, to work on projects which engage with global
history or use transregional approaches and contain
productive areas of overlap either in their topics or in
their conceptual frameworks. The tandem program
presents an excellent opportunity for scholars from
Germany and North America to develop their expertise
by collaborating closely, to work with additional
resources and to make connections with others in
their fields.
Areas of research the GHI is going to develop in the next
years are "History of Knowledge," "Religion and Ethnicity,"
and "Spaces and Symbolic Boundaries." The institute has
also developed a strong interest in "Digital history."
Projects that address one of these fields or relate to
them in any way are particularly welcome; we are,
however, also happy to consider applications focusing
on other topics.
The program is designed for postdoctoral, mid-career,
and established historians from Germany and North
America. In order to ensure successful collaboration,
our preference is for applicants to already have
identified their potential tandem partner. We welcome
applications from both long-standing binational
partnerships as well as from newly created partnerships
for the purposes of the fellowship. Preference will also
be given to candidates doing original research for a new
book project.
.
The deadline for applications is August 1, 2017.

Volkswagen Foundation is offering fellowship for international young researchers in all disciplines. Ten to fifteen fellowships for researchers will be awarded per year.
The Freigeist funding initiative provides an opportunity for outstandingly qualified, creative and independent early career researchers to conduct their own research. It aims to encourage exceptional research personalities to embark on visionary, risk-taking research projects at the intersections between established fields of research.
The ‘Freigeist’ initiative builds upon the previous funding scheme for junior research groups and the Dilthey- and Schumpeter Fellowships which were terminated recently.
Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).
Course Level: The fellowship is available for pursuing research programme at the university or research institution in Germany.
Study Subject(s): The ‘Freigeist’ scheme is deliberately open to all disciplines and topics.
Scholarship Award: Ten to fifteen Fellowships will be awarded per year. The initial funding period is five years; depending on the field of research and career experience, projects in a total amount of up to 1,000,000 Euro can be applied for:
The Fellow’s position (salary scale TV-L 14, comparable to similar junior research group leaders)
Positions for scientific personnel (doctoral students, PostDocs)
Non-personnel costs relevant to the project (e. g. consumables, travel expenses, equipment)
Important:
The Foundations does not grant any overheads.
In case the maximum amount of funding has not been fully taken up with the initial application, additional funds (so called modules) can be applied for during the course of the Fellowship to provide flexible support (e. g. for personnel, resources, sojourns abroad, cooperation measures, translations, workshops, stays at institutions representing other research fields). Applications for these modules should be submitted – if possible – within the context of annual reporting on the funded project.
A second funding period of up to three years may be provided. This requires a positive evaluation (by the Foundation), generally at the end of the fourth year, and a clear perspective for a permanent position for the Fellow at the host institution. The maximum funding for this second period amounts up to 400,000 Euro.
Scholarship can be taken in Germany
Eligibility: Anyone can apply who identifies with the goals of a ‘Freigeist’ Fellowship and whose proposed research project fits in with the aims pursued by the Freigeist initiative. Candidates must, however, conform to the following conditions:
Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).
The Fellowship must from the outset be integrated within a university or an extra-mural research institution in Germany.
Candidates must already have changed their academic environment and moved to a new location – at the latest when starting the Fellowship. A return to the working context of the doctorate will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances.
A previously completed research sojourn abroad, at the latest integrated in the proposed research project.
Nationality: The funding scheme is open to early-stage researchers of all nationalities.
College Admission Requirement
Entrance Requirement: Their doctorate must have been obtained not longer than five years previously (with regard to the date of the defense relative to the deadline of the initiative).
