Applications are invited for an AHRC CDA doctoral studentship offered by the Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership, to start in October 2025.

The studentship will be based in the Department of History of Art. The successful applicant will work on a collaborative project co-led by Professor Alexander Marr (ajm300@cam.ac.uk), University of Cambridge, Dr Jane Eade, co-supervisor, Cultural Heritage Curator and Rebecca Hellen, Senior National Conservator Paintings & Wall Paintings at National Trust Midlands/East of England.

The studentship will provide an opportunity to undertake technical art-historical research on paintings attributed to Lockey in the collection of the National Trust, understanding the use of techniques such as MA-XRF, cross-section sampling, and X-radiography. Assisted by Trust curators the award holder will research documentary evidence in the Hardwick archives of Lockey's work for patrons such as Elizabeth, Countess of Shrewsbury, and her son, William Cavendish. This will be complemented by research in The National Archives and other repositories, to build as full a picture as possible of Lockey's career which will be the backbone of outreach and community engagement activity by the Trust.

Further details of the project and its aims can be found on the Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC DTP website: oocdtp.web.ox.ac.uk/cam-cda-marr-national-trust
