Dublin City University - PhD scholarships

The School of Communications at DCU is now inviting applications from 
qualified candidates for up to five PhD Scholarships.

The School of Communications at DCU is one of the top Communications 
departments in Europe. It is a vibrant, outward-looking department that 
combines intensive research activity with the strongest commitment to 
high quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Our staff are 
committed to producing cutting-edge research across a range of 
(inter)disciplinary fields including (new) media studies, social media 
studies, journalism studies, film studies, television studies, political 
communication and cultural studies. In the past five years, we have 
supported over 30 doctoral students to achieve PhD awards through this 
scheme.

The School now has an opening for up to five funded PhD scholarships. As 
well as a generous tax-free stipend plus fees, we also support our 
students with funding for conference travel and research and give PhD 
students opportunities to teach courses. Candidates would normally have 
a degree in Journalism, Communications, Film Studies, Media Studies, 
Gender Studies, Political Science, Multimedia, Business, Economics or 
some other related cognate area.

Work that brings more coherence to current research paradigms is 
particularly welcomed but the Scholarships are open to those working in 
a wide array of theoretical, epistemological and methodological 
approaches. We also welcome applicants wishing to pursue practice-based 
/ practice-led PhDs.

Potential candidates should provide a 2,000 word application, detailing 
your research proposal and how it aligns with the research-strategic 
objectives of the School of Communications, as well as a CV detailing 
academic qualifications and professional experience to date. Ideally, 
candidates will have consulted with a potential supervisor before applying.

Deadline for application: 1st May 2015 Inquiries and applications to: 
(pat.brereton /at/ dcu.ie) and (debbie.ging /at/ dcu.ie)
