*Overview*

The University of Galway has recently made a strategic investment in the 
area of Creative Technologies, aiming to build new research and teaching 
activities that will explore, analyse, and develop new links between 
creative practice and technology, including in such areas as Virtual 
Reality, Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Creativity, and so on. Those 
activities will draw on the university’s existing strengths in the 
creative arts, especially in such areas as Digital Media, Film, Music, 
Theatre Studies, and Writing.

The PhD researchers will work within the Centre for Creative 
Technologies to investigate emerging trends in the overlap between 
creativity and technology, both in professional practice and academic 
research. Successful applicants will pursue research towards a PhD in 
Creative Technologies whilst participating in workshops and doctoral 
training designed to enhance the participant’s research capacity in the 
field. Proposals are particularly welcome for projects that combine 
critical enquiry or social science methods with technological and
