Scottish Graduate School for Arts & Humanities PhD Internship
This internship will build on work carried out by our current SGSAH intern Mahtab Karami who is developing a research framework to evaluate the social, cultural and economic benefits of funding for arts organisations, using Edinburgh Printmakers as a case study. The Year 2 Doctoral Intern will respond to this framework and design and deliver a series of projects to identify new ways of measuring “triple bottom line” value for small and medium-sized arts organisations in Scotland, helping to capture their wider impact beyond traditional financial metrics.

The programme is open to arts and humanities PhD students in Scotland, regardless of funding source. Any doctoral researcher that meets the following criteria can benefit from this programme:
- You are registered at a SGSAH member HEI;
