Ciao Marco, io ho fatto il dottorato in Inghilterra, che E# sicuramente quello che ti aprira' piu strade insieme a dottorati in lingua inglese in sciole dottorali internazionali in altri Paesi.
La strada migliore da seguire e' individuare scuole buone nel tuo settore di
specializzazione. Per esempio se hai scritto la tesi e vari articoli in storia del rinascimento devi cercare dove sono i luminari di storia del Rinascimento. Quindi dovresti contattare quei docenti ed esprimere il tuo interesse a fare il dottorato. Non devi essere troppo formale, ma anche niente linguaggio da chat. Presentati e spiega su quali temi vorresti lavorare. Assicurati che coincidano con l'area di specializzazione della persona a cui scrivi. una volta che trovi un docente interessato, dovrai fare domanda formale all'universita con un'application form e un progetto di ricerca. quindi dovrai fare domanda per una borsa di studio, secondo modalita' che ti indichera il docente e/o la segretaria del dipartimento.
Tieni conto che iniziando a contttatere docenti ora potrai iniziare probabilmente il prossimo anno e che per le borse di solito si fa domanda in inverno per l'autunno. Puoi iniziare a guardare i siti dei dipartimenti di storia dei top 20 in storia: Oxford Cambridge,edimbourg, University College London,warwich, Glasgow , st. Andrews,Birbeck College London,Sheffield, Birmingham, Exeter, Manchester, York,Queen Mary london, Leeds,Liverpool, Royal holloway London;Leicester, SOAS.
Negli altri Paesi di solito funziona allo stesso modo :devi contattare un docente esperto nel tuo campo e sperare di suscitare il suo interesse.
Buona fortuna

The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies – the oldest Holocaust research centre in Britain – is offering a part- time, fees only PhD scholarship for four years. Applications are invited on all aspects of the Holocaust between 1933 and 1945, as well as on post- war memory of the Holocaust in relation to ongoing oral history research at the Centre.

The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies was originally founded in 1990 and re- founded under its present name in 1993 under the auspices of the Burton Trusts. It is a non-profit teaching and research centre within the School of Historical Studies at the University of Leicester.

The activities sponsored by the Centre include a programme of research into subjects related to the Holocaust; an active outreach programme; the annual Aubrey Newman Lecture in May; an annual one-day international workshop in May; and a dedicated Holocaust Resources room open to students and the wider public. This is where members meet to co-ordinate and develop activities, as well as staging some of the Centre’s events.

The Centre also provides specialised sources (primary sources and oral testimonies, books, journals etc.), facilities (computer, laser printer, photocopying, and in due time DVD/VHS facilities) and expertise outside the University library at regular opening hours. Finally, it serves as a teaching and seminar venue for classes and seminars that are related to the Centre’s activities.

In order to apply for the scholarship candidates will need to complete a Postgraduate Application Form. Applications should be accompanied by a thesis proposal of no more than 1,500 words outlining the area to be studied, key debates within the field, and initial ideas on potential research methods and sources.
