*Doctoral (PhD) studentship opportunities at The Digital Cultures Research Centre <http://dcrc.org.uk> (DCRC) UWE Bristol <http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/research/postgraduateresearchstudy/studentshipopportunities.aspx> for October 2014*

/Studentships will cover tuition fees at the University’s UK/EU level and a contribution towards maintenance for three years, subject to satisfactory progress./

Research at DCRC <http://dcrc.org.uk> seeks to create new knowledge about creative media applications in real world contexts, and about everyday life in today’s digital media ecology. Centre researchers pursue a dynamic interdisciplinary agenda through a unique mix of criticality, creativity and application.

The DCRC is a leading centre for research into interactive and participatory documentary and home to the i-Docs Symposium <http://i-docs.org> and community. The Centre hosts the AHRC Creative Territories Video Games Research Network <http://creativeterritories.dcrc.org.uk/> and is publisher of the Pervasive Media Cookbook. <http://pervasivemediacookbook.com/>

DCRC is a partner in the west of England’s leading media innovation lab, The Pervasive Media Studio <http://www.watershed.co.uk/pmstudio/> and is located in a unique environment in Bristol’s Harbourside where designers, artists and engineers share expertise to produce new experiences for media audiences.

We are interested in supporting doctoral research which addresses the practices and social meanings of emerging media. The Centre’s current research priorities are interactive, participatory, pervasive and locative media and themes of digital citizenship, co-creation, value, games and the “Playable City”.

For an informal discussion about your proposal, please contact DCRC Director Mandy Rose: *(mandy.rose /at/ uwe.ac.uk) <mailto:(mandy.rose /at/ uwe.ac.uk)>*

The studentship will fully fund applicants who are eligible for Home/EU fees.
