PhD Studentship The Legacies of Transatlantic Slavery and Reparations (History) Over the past twelve years the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery, based in the History Department, has succeeded in making the history of slavery more widely known in Britain by building a publicly accessible evidence base. Our collective and individual publications have been a major part of our analysis of this material and added greatly to public and scholarly knowledge on British slavery. Our database on the compensation payments of £20 million made to British slave-owners for the loss of their human property after emancipation in 1834 has contributed monumentally to the national conversation on slavery, rights, justice, empire, memorialization and how we reckon with uncomfortable truths. We have also completed a second project on the structure and significance of slave ownership, by linking slave-owners to Caribbean estates for the period and connecting them to cultural, political, industrial, imperial and religious activities in Britain. Our Centre is now embarking on a larger and pivotal phase of research on the experiences of enslaved people in the Caribbean. Through a fulsome and rigorous analysis of the extant slave registers, this research project will offer details on the lives of the men, women and children who made the British sugar empire function. This will be joined to our earlier work to provide the most expansive, publicly available data on British imperial slavery. For current work of the Centre, please visit . About the role The Scholarship In this funded 4-year doctoral studentship the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with academics from the Centre and benefit from involvement in our public engagement activities. This is one of two new related scholarships funded by a generous donation to explore the legacies of Transatlantic slavery in Britain and the issue of reparations, with a particular focus on the Caribbean. This scholarship centres on a trans-Atlantic historical investigation of legacies of the history of British slavery and abolition in Britain and/or the Caribbean for a doctoral project. Based within the Department of History, the student will be expected to collaborate closely with UCL's School of European Languages, Culture and Society - Centre for Multidisciplinary and Intercultural Inquiry (SELCS-CMII), where the other scholarship and the second supervisor will be based.

Job Type: Permanent Sector: General Insurance Specialism: Claims, General Management, Senior Appointments Location: London & South Town/City: London Salary range: £40, 000 - £49, 999 Salary Description: Attractive salary plus benefits Posted: 03-Jun-25 Start Date: ASAP Recruiter: Aston Charles Job Ref: JH-3122TL Job Views: 18 A true 'digital disrupter', this cutting-edge Insurtech is turning the claims landscape on its head; challenging the status quo and the previously accepted norms - and delivering fantastic customer outcomes as a result! This 'Third Party Administrator - with a difference' is the brain child of several insurance veterans with rich pedigrees in utilising state-of-the-art technology to tackle longstanding problems in the claims industry. Cash rich, it has been backed by a number of specialist VC firms, and has long-term agreements in place with some of the best-known MGA's on the planet. This is a 100% home-based role, where you will be provided with all the tools needed to make a real success of this role (including a top of the range Apple MacBook with additional screens etc), and benefiting from an extremely friendly and supportive team environment. Due to having long-term deals in place with a number of MGA's (each with diverse books of business), the need has arisen to appoint a Property Claims Team Leader. Here, you will be responsible for managing a team of Property Claims Handlers, each dealing with a varied caseload comprising both Commercial and Domestic Property losses. Your managerial duties will include training, development and coaching, allocating workloads, acting as an escalation point for complaints, and file /audit checking to ensure compliance. Whilst you will not be managing your own caseload, you will be a technical referral point for the team. It is essential that you are an, "expert on all things Property claims." You must also have solid managerial skills, and the ability to help a friendly and supportive environment where a fully remote-based team enjoy working to shared goals and objectives. As this dynamic firm is seen as somewhat of a 'disrupter' in the sometimes rather staid TPA claims sector, you must also be dynamic, able to thrive in a fast-paced and constantly-evolving environment, and be willing to challenge the status quo. Equally, as this firm is growing so rapidly, you must be willing to get involved in a variety of different projects and assignments. You will be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (Negotiable, depending on experience), together with a range of company benefits, including support towards professional qualifications. For the ambitious, the sky really is the limit in this company. With more high-profile MGA's being onboarded all the time, there is clearly going to be a myriad of opportunities for progression in the short, medium and longer term!
