Tue Apr 04 07:29:44 GMT 2023





On behalf of the TikTok Cultures Research Network (https://tiktokcultures.com/ <https://tiktokcultures.com/>) and Influencer Ethnography Research Lab (https://ierlab.com/ <https://ierlab.com/>), I invite you to apply for our inaugural visiting fellow schemes.

The TCRN and IERLab Visiting Fellowship is an opportunity for HDRs (Higher Degree by Research) and ECRs (Early Career Researchers) to conduct research examining TikTok cultures and Influencer cultures in collaboration with scholars of TCRN and IERLab at Curtin University. In 2023, we will be awarding *4 fellowships*: 1 x TCRN HDR Visiting Fellowship, 1 x TCRN ECR Visiting Fellowship, 1 x IERLab HDR Visiting Fellowship, 1 x IERLab ECR Visiting Fellowship. All 4 fellowship positions are for a duration of 4 weeks, between May–November 2023.

*About*

  * The *TikTok Cultures Research Network (TCRN) *is a portal for
    scholarly resources, research projects, and events that connects
    networks of qualitative scholars of various disciplines from around
    the world, supported by Curtin University.
  * The *Influencer Ethnography Research Lab (IERLab)* comprises an
    interdisciplinary and international group of social scientists who
    study the sociocultural impact of Influencers, supported by Curtin
    University.

*Eligibility*
Applicants can apply from Australia or Overseas. However, they must ensure they are able to obtain the appropriate visa for entry into Australia. We particularly welcome applicants from the Asia Pacific region.

  * HDR scheme: Applicants must be actively enrolled in a Masters or PhD
    program at the time of application.
  * ECR scheme: Applicants must have received their PhD in the last 5
    years, or have eligible commensurate career disruption

*Terms*
It is expected that Fellows will be based physically at Curtin University’s Bentley campus in Perth, Western Australia, for at least 4 weeks. Fellows must commence and complete any time between June–November 2023. Fellows will need to organize their own flights, visas, accommodation, and everyday logistics. TCRN, IERLab and Curtin University will award each Fellow a one-off stipend of AUD5000 to assist with costs, and it is anticipated that Fellows will supplement this with another source of funding from their host institute.

The TCRN/ IERLab Visiting Fellowship scheme is aimed at facilitating collaborative research opportunities and outputs. Upon completion of the programme, it is expected that Fellows will have:

  * Presented 1 research talk at a seminar facilitated by IERLab

    close-to-completion form, aimed for publication in a high-ranking
    journal in the fields of media studies, communication, cultural
    studies, sociology, anthropology, or a related field
  * For ECR Fellows only: Conducted 1 HDR meet-and-greet session to
    offer students mentoring in an area of their choosing (i.e. career
    development, research methods, grant applications, etc.)

    and indicate when you wish to undertake the Fellowship (at least 4
