AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership (CDP) studentship – Decoding the Vindolanda tablets: Generative AI to reassemble, read and restore Roman handwritten texts with The British Museum and University of Nottingham
Application Deadline: 2nd June 2025, 17.00
Interviews will take place online on 26th June 2025.
The project will test generative AI on tasks such as recovering texts of the Vindolanda tablets, including handwritten text recognition, reassembly of fragments, disentangling palimpsest texts, and restoring missing sections.
This project will be jointly supervised by Professor Alex Mullen (University of Nottingham), Dr Richard Hobbs (British Museum), and Dr Kai Xu (University of Nottingham). The student will spend time at both institutions and become part of the wider cohort of CDP funded students across the UK.
