[ecrea] PhD positions in media and information studies at Michigan State University

I thought the following information might be of interest to you and your 
students, especially if you have somebody who would like to obtain a 
doctoral degree at a leading US university.



The Media and Information Studies PhD program at Michigan State 
University seeks engaged students who wish to join an exciting 
interdisciplinary program of study at the intersection of the social 
sciences and socio technical systems. For 2014-15 we have openings for 
several students across a range of research areas covered by our diverse 
faculty:



·       Social media and social computing

·       Human-computer interaction

·       Management information systems

·       Games and meaningful play

·       Health and ICT

·       ICT4D

·       Media effects

·       Media and information policy

·       Socio technical systems



Applications are competitive. Over 90 percent of our current students 
are supported for up to four years by teaching and research 
assistantships with monthly stipends (about $2,000 per month), tuition 
remission (nine free credits per semester), and health benefits. 
Fellowships and stipends for travel to academic conferences are also 
available.



Deadline to be considered for assistantships is January 1, 2014. 
However, we will begin reviewing applications on December 1, 2013 and 
continue to review them through early February 2014.
