On behalf of the TikTok Cultures Research Network 
(https://tiktokcultures.com/ <https://tiktokcultures.com/>) and 
Influencer Ethnography Research Lab (https://ierlab.com/

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.

    scholarly resources, research projects, and events that connects
    networks of qualitative scholars of various disciplines from around
    the world, supported by Curtin University.

    interdisciplinary and international group of social scientists who
    study the sociocultural impact of Influencers, supported by Curtin
