Hej Karin, Jag ser nu att jag har missat att tipsa nätverket om att Uppsala Universitet/HVC utlyser en doktorandtjänst i samverkan med Statens Historiska Museer/SMF! Ber om ursäkt att jag missade det. Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet utlyser i samverkan med Statens Historiska Museer en doktorandtjänst i Förintelsens historia och minneskultur.
