The SGSAH Doctoral Researcher Committee (DRC) operates as part of SGSAH’s governance structure:

  • To ensure that doctoral researchers have an active voice and agency within SGSAH 
  • To bring new perspectives to enhance the PhD experience for all arts & humanities PhD researchers in Scotland 
  • To represent viewpoints and ideas of PhD researchers in the arts & humanities in Scotland 
  • To better understand and appreciate the needs of Arts & Humanities PhD researchers in Scotland and stakeholders by working together. 

We are currently recruiting for new members to join our central committee and sub-committees. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other PhD researchers, improve the experience of Arts & Humanities PhD researchers in Scotland, and gain experience of representing your views and others in a governance structure. This opportunity is open to all PhD researchers in Arts & Humanities at Scottish institutions, regardless of funding status.
