*FUNDED PHDS IN FILM, TELEVISION AND DIGITAL ARTS*

*AT ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON*

*The Department of Media Arts at Royal Holloway, University of London,
is inviting applicants to our PhD programme.  The Faculty of Arts and
Social Sciences at Royal Holloway is a member of TECHNE, a consortium
that has been awarded an AHRC Block Grant Partnership.  This provides
studentships of three years maintenance at £16,057 per year and three
years full-time fees for UK students and full-time fees for European
students. *

*Royal Holloway has also been awarded Leverhulme Magna Carta
scholarships for interdisciplinary doctoral training on the theme of
Freedom and the Rights of the Individual in the Digital Age.  These
scholarships are funded at the same level as the TECHNE awards. *

Students who apply for these awards will also be considered
automatically for College Scholarships.

The department has a wide variety of recognized strengths in research,
ranging from modernist art practices to British cinema to TV history and
aesthetics.  Applications are welcomed for doctoral research by
traditional scholarly methodologies and by creative practice. You may
consult our list of staff and their research interests for guidance on
possibly supervisory expertise at:
www.royalholloway.ac.uk/mediaarts/research/researchinterests.aspx
<http://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/mediaarts/research/researchinterests.aspx>.

For the Techne award we particularly seek proposals in the aesthetics of
cinema and digital media, modernism and film, Hollywood history, Asian
cinemas, and transnational and diasporic cinemas.  For the Leverhulme
scholarship suggested topics include the ethical challenges in the
collection, use, dissemination and destruction of data; and developing
new opportunities for enhancing democracy and debate using digital
communications.

*Applicants for funded research are asked to submit a preliminary
research proposal of at least 1500 words and a current CV to the
department’s Director of Postgraduate Research, Mandy Merck, at
(_m.merck /at/ rhul.ac.uk) <mailto:(m.merck /at/ rhul.ac.uk)>_ by December 11, 2015,
in order to prepare final applications by the Leverhulme Magna Carta
deadline of 27 January 2016 and the TECHNE deadline of 7 February 2016. *
