Italy : PhD in History and Civilisation at the European University Institute

The Department of History and Civilization at the European University Institute invites applications for a four year doctoral programme in History and Civilization. All doctoral researchers receive a grant from their national governments for a period of three years, and the Institute provides funding for the fourth year.

Doctoral researchers in history at the EUI have the unique chance to engage with the full range of historical research in Europe. In the first year of the programme, researchers not only start their PhD project, but also attend seminars to explore methodological questions and different European historiographies, develop their academic writing and presentation skills, and study foreign languages. The Department also funds research trips to work in archives and libraries across Europe and beyond. A first-class library, extensive computing facilities, a career center, language courses, and a large community of post-docs make the EUI an excellent environment to do a PhD in history.

The Department of History and Civilization studies European History from the Renaissance to the present day, recognizing that the idea – or ideas – of Europe remain contested. The Department is committed to seeing European History in relation to other regions and cultures of the world. It distinguishes itself as a place where different historiographical and methodological approaches meet. While most activities are conducted in English, multi-lingualism is encouraged. The Department strongly promotes comparative and transnational studies of cultural and economic trends; the history of social, political and intellectual movements and traditions; and a gender approach to history. It aims to capture both Europe’s past and the study of that past, so as to face the most challenging questions of its present.
