[ecrea] Screen PhD studentships commencing October 2012, University of Glasgow: applications invited

The international film and television studies journal, /Screen, /will 
support three PhD studentships from October 2012.  Further information 
on /Screen/ may be found _here_ <http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/screen/>.
Students will be based in the School of Culture and Creative Arts at the 
University of Glasgow in Scotland (U.K.) and supervised by one or more 
members of the/ Screen /editorial board as appropriate.
We are keen to attract the best candidates and therefore do not insist 
that the proposed research be restricted to a prescribed area of study. 
Nonetheless, prospective candidates may wish to consider /Screen/'s 
history and its ongoing intervention into the theoretical debates in 
film, television and other audio-visual media.
Topics might include:

   * Classic film theory and /Screen /theory today
   * Film theory and contemporary issues of spectatorship
   * Film/television history
   * Film/television aesthetics
   * How film theory can inform the study of
     world/diasporic/transnational cinemas
   * Film/television performance

_*The closing date for applications is Friday, 2nd March, 2012*_
To apply, please email (_screen /at/ arts.gla.ac).uk_ 
<mailto:(screen /at/ arts.gla.ac.uk)>, with the subject header "Screen 
Studentship Application", and including the following information:

   * A title and description for your proposed PhD project (500 words)
   * A C.V. detailing your academic record to date and if possible a
     _copy _of your transcript (NB please indicate your status as a
     student i.e. E.U., International, UK)
   * Two academic references

ONLY candidates with a good undergraduate degree, and who have (or are 
completing) an initial programme of post-graduate study (e.g. an M.A. or 
M.Litt.) will be considered.
Successful candidates will be notified via letter/email by Professor 
Karen Lury, and then asked to apply to the Graduate School in the 
College of Arts at the University of Glasgow. Details of that 
application process can be found _here_ 
<http://www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/arts/graduateschool/prospectivestudents/researchstudy/howtoapply/>. 

We _do not_ require students to apply to the University of Glasgow until 
they have been nominated for a /Screen/ award. However, candidates who 
are hoping to secure other funding for their studies from the University 
of Glasgow should apply in the normal way.
If you would like to discuss your project and specific details relating 
to the award more informally, please email Professor Karen Lury, 
University of Glasgow at (_Karen.Lury /at/ glasgow.ac).uk_
