We are inviting applications for a full-time AHRC PhD studentship in any 
area of Digital Media OR Media History starting in September 2012.


The studentship will be located within the Communication and Media 
Research Institute (CAMRI) - the UK’s number one research group in media 
and communication as rated by the UK Government’s 2008 Research 
Assessment Exercise, with a score of 60% 4*, 30% 3*, 10% 2*. We have 
over 20 research active staff and more than 50 PhD students. We have a 
wide and expanding range of research interests, but in the broadest 
sense we are interested in the social, economic, political and cultural 
significance of the media. For this studentship we welcome proposals 
from prospective students on any topic related to digital media or media 
history.

Eligible candidates will hold at least an upper second class Honours 
degree and a Masters degree and must have a relevant connection with the 
UK, normally consisting of minimum of three years residence for purposes 
other than education.

The Studentship consists of a fee waiver and a stipend of £16,000 per 
annum. Successful candidates will be expected to undertake some teaching 
duties.
