DCRC - Digital Cultures Research Centre

We are looking for an excellent PhD candidate in one of the research theme areas of: Play, Collaborative Media, Pervasive Media and the Attention Economy. The DCRC also has a number of associated and emergent themes so that candidates are strongly urged to read the profiles of staff in our network to ensure that their topic will contribute to our research community.

The Digital Cultures Research Centre works across critical, creative and applied modes of research and would prefer candidates who embrace at least two of these approaches.

The scholarship is available from 1 January 2013 and consists of an annual stipend of £13,590, subject to satisfactory progress. In addition, full-time tuition fees will be covered for 3 years and the writing-up fee will be covered in the 4th year.

The scholarship will only fully fund applicants who are eligible for Home/EUfees. Applicants normally required to cover overseas fees will have to cover the difference between the Home/EU and the overseas tuition fee rates (approximately £7,065 per annum).

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must have a good honours degree (2.1 or equivalent). The DCRC would like to hear from applicants who are attracted to working in a collaborative knowledge exchange context. The student is expected to be resident in the region and to contribute to the day to day operations of the DCRC by co-ordinating and marketing the Centre’s post-graduate network and events.
