Current opportunity
The Strathmartine Trust was founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting the study, research and education of Scottish history. Based in St Andrews, the Trust offers self-catering accommodation for visiting scholars, and has a library and study space for researchers. The Trust also offers awards and grants, and maintains a community profile, hosting seminars and other events, supporting local and national historians to share their research and ideas.
Trustees are expected to attend, virtually or in person, a minimum of four Trustee Meetings each year; occasionally, additional meetings are organised to discuss grant applications or other significant matters. In addition to the time taken to prepare for and attend meetings, Trustees will need to allocate time to reading and evaluating applications during the annual grant award process. It is expected that Trustees will also remain engaged and interested in the day-to-day operation of the Strathmartine Centre and Press.
