[ecrea] Funded Film and Digital Media PhDs, Royal Holloway

Wed Nov 11 00:46:57 GMT 2015




PHDS IN FILM, TELEVISION AND DIGITAL ARTS
AT ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

The Department of Media Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London, is inviting applicants to our PhD programme. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Royal Holloway is a member of TECHNE, a consortium that has been awarded an AHRC Block Grant Partnership. This provides studentships of three years maintenance at £16,057 per year and three years full-time fees for UK students and full-time fees for European students.

Royal Holloway has also been awarded Leverhulme Magna Carta scholarships for interdisciplinary doctoral training on the theme of Freedom and the Rights of the Individual in the Digital Age. These scholarships are funded at the same level as the TECHNE awards.

Students who apply for these awards will also be considered automatically for College Scholarships.

The department has a wide variety of recognized strengths in research, ranging from modernist art practices to British cinema to TV history and aesthetics. Applications are welcomed for doctoral research by traditional scholarly methodologies and by creative practice. You may consult our list of staff and their research interests for guidance on possibly supervisory expertise at: www.royalholloway.ac.uk/mediaarts/research/researchinterests.aspx.

For the Techne award we particularly seek proposals in the aesthetics of cinema and digital media, modernism and film, Hollywood history, Asian cinemas, and transnational and diasporic cinemas. For the Leverhulme scholarship suggested topics include the ethical challenges in the collection, use, dissemination and destruction of data; and developing new opportunities for enhancing democracy and debate using digital communications.

Applicants for funded research are asked to submit a preliminary research proposal of at least 1500 words and a current CV to the department’s Director of Postgraduate Research, Mandy Merck, at (m.merck /at/ rhul.ac.uk) by December 11, 2015, in order to prepare final applications by the Leverhulme Magna Carta deadline of 27 January 2016 and the TECHNE deadline of 7 February 2016.
