[ecrea] PhD Scholarship, Multimodal Discourse Analysis, UNSW Australia

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is currently offering a new phd 
scholarship, the ‘Scientia PhD Scholarship’, which provides generous 
funding and support, and which is aimed at attracting the best possible 
candidates, either from Australia or from overseas.
One of the scholarships will be in the area of *multimodal discourse 
analysis*. The project area is:
/“//Multimodal discourse analysis and intersemiosis: This project uses 
multimodal discourse analysis of contemporary media and communication, 
to elucidate how visual, verbal, digital, aural and/or spatial resources 
combine intersemiotically to produce effective and coherent texts.”/
Applicants will need an edge of some sort, beyond the required academic 
excellence for any phd – evidence of research capacity, perhaps 
engagement in industry/community in some way, potential to make a future 
contribution, and so on.
*If you know students who might be suitable, please alert them to this 
and get them to contact me directly *((l.ravelli /at/ unsw.edu.au)). I’ll 
explain the process and will do the first round of vetting. If you can 
think of colleagues who might have suitable students, please alert them 
also. If you can think of any other email lists that might be helpful, 
please send the details to me.
As with all university initiatives these days, the time frames are 
absurdly short, so I would need to have *initial contact from potential 
candidates no later than November 1.* So it's really urgent and I would 
really appreciate your help!
The general information is available on the university website.  Go to:
http://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply
(or alternatively, the UNSW homepage, unsw.edu.au, and search for 
‘Scientia PhD Scholarship’).
Applicants then need to: 1) Select ‘UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship’; (2) 
Select the strategic area: ‘Contemporary Humanities and Creative Arts’; 
and (3) Select ‘Media’. (This just brings up the project area I’ve 
described above and says to contact me, but it’s framed with the context 
and background of the initiative ie all the background.)
