[Commlist] Funded PhD Opportunities @ Digital Cultures Research Centre_UWE Bristol

*PhD Studentships @ Digital Cultures Research Centre - UWE Bristol*

The *Digital Cultures Research Centre <https://www.dcrc.org.uk/> (DCRC) 
*at UWE Bristol <http://www.uwe.ac.uk/> invites applications for *two 
fully-funded PhD studentships* for April 2022 entry

Located within the Pervasive Media Studio 
<https://www.watershed.co.uk/studio/> on Bristol's Harbourside, DCRC 
supports a network of researchers working across disciplinary 
boundaries, foregrounding critical, creative and applied modes of 
research. The Centre maintains an ambitious research programme with 
current research priorities configured and shaped around four primary 
research themes:

  * Evolving Media <https://www.dcrc.org.uk/evolving-media/>
  * Creative Economies <https://www.dcrc.org.uk/creative-economies/>
  * Restorative Futures <https://www.dcrc.org.uk/restorative-futures/>
  * Screen Industries/Screen Cultures <https://www.dcrc.org.uk/screen/>

We are interested in supporting doctoral research which addresses these 
interdisciplinary areas and their intersections, and keen to hear from 
applicants who are attracted to working in a collaborative knowledge 
exchange context, with a focus on research in emerging fields of study 
and creative practice

Further information about each strand, and the people, partners and 
projects involved can be found on the DCRC website 
<https://www.dcrc.org.uk/our-themes/>

The Centre is engaged in a number of large-scale research and knowledge 
exchange collaborations and partnerships, and PGR students will benefit 
from access to a network of national and international academic and 
industry stakeholders, and connections with a wide range of community, 
cultural and third sector organisations

The research and training environment at DCRC offers opportunities for 
professional & skills development. Doctoral researchers are expected to 
contribute to the Centre’s post-graduate network, and programme of 
research, teaching and Pervasive Media Studio community events.

The studentships will start on *1 April 2022*
