The Haifa Center for Mediterranean History (HCMH) is offering four-year PhD scholarships for projects relating to the pre-modern history of the Mediterranean, starting in October 2019. The scholarships will be offered as matching for the institutional scholarships.

HCMH, which began its work in 2017, promotes the historical study of the pre-modern Mediterranean at the University of Haifa, and aims to connect it to the vibrant international networks of Mediterranean research.

Prospective PhD projects will engage meaningfully in a Mediterranean theme, and show relevance to the current historiographical discourse. They will be supervised by a Haifa researcher from one of the following departments: History, Maritime Civilizations, Archaeology, Art History, Middle Eastern History, Israel Studies, and Jewish History. Co-advisors from other departments and universities are welcome.
