[Commlist] Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Screen Studies (Synthetic Media), Trinity College Dublin

Tue Jun 06 22:45:57 GMT 2023





Applications are invited for a post-doctoral Research Fellow in Screen Studies (Synthetic Media) to work on an Irish Research Council Laureate Award (2022-2026) project, “From Cinematic Realism to Extended Reality: Reformulating Screen Studies at the Precipice of Hyper-reality” led by Dr. Jennifer O’Meara. This is a full-time position in the Department of Film, Trinity College Dublin, with an expected duration of 16 months and beginning October 1st2023.

Salary: €42,783 per annum, exclusive of the employer’s pension contribution and additional funding for conference travel.

Deadline for applications: 12pm, July 3rd 2023

The Fellow will work to address elements of the project’s key research focus by examining trends in synthetic media, such as “deepfake” media and AI-generated media, using critical approaches drawn from screen studies and film history. This will include examining the ethics and aesthetics of these screen technologies, issues that will be historicized in relation to precursors from screen history (including special effects, CGI, and the use of dubbing and body doubles in relation to screen performance).

The Fellow’s work will involve considering synthetic media in terms of: authorship, including how AI-generated media can appropriate recognisable filmic styles; historic and contemporary labour rights for performers and creative personnel; and how identity politics can be intertwined with the use of such technologies.

Under the guidance of the PI, the Research Fellow will be encouraged to shape the precise direction of the research questions and approach in order to align with their research expertise and interests. The Fellow will be joining a small team of researchers, including two PhD students, working on the project in the Department of Film.
