The University of St Andrews and The National Gallery, London, are pleased to announce a fully funded 4-year Collaborative Doctoral Studentship starting in September 2026 under the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) scheme.

Since its foundation in 1903, the Burlington Magazine has played a pivotal role in the British art world. This PhD will use the newly acquired and catalogued Burlington Magazine Archive at the National Gallery to make a significant and original contribution to our understanding of the art world and its development in twentieth-century Britain. The student will have the opportunity to shape their own research area in relation to the diverse areas covered by the Burlington, including histories of art history, the art market, museum history, and publication.

The project will be jointly supervised by Dr Sam Rose (St Andrews), Dr Jack Hartnell (National Gallery), and Dr Nicholas Smith (National Gallery).
