*PhD Studentships in Media, Communication and Cultural Studies at Newcastle University*

The School of Arts and Cultures at Newcastle University seeks outstanding applicants for our PhD programmes in Media, Communication and Cultural Studies. Fully-funded by *the AHRC’s Northern Bridge Doctoral Training Partnership*, successful students will be joining one of the strongest research units in the country and have the chance to progress their careers in a dynamic, creative and supportive environment.

The School invites applications in all areas of media, communication and cultural study but we are particularly interested in students who can help us build on our existing areas of research excellence in:

Journalism studies

Political communication

Intimacy, personal relationships and media

Digital culture and media studies

Gender, identities, masculinities, and culture/media

Critical discourse analysis

To be eligible, you will need to hold an excellent undergraduate degree, have completed or be completing a Master’s degree in a relevant subject area, and have exciting plans for an original and significant PhD project. Being able to demonstrate a strong fit with our existing expertise and/or our unique research infrastructure will give you a clear advantage.

Students benefit from disciplinary and generic research training within an award-winning postgraduate research training programme within the Humanities and Social Sciences Higher Education Academy. Our PhD students also play a key role in our research culture including the Gender Research Group and other research networks such as the University’s Postcolonial Research and Cultural Significance of Place Groups. Our facilities include Culture Lab, a focal point for research in human-computer interaction and digital creative practice.

Studentships will be awarded on a competitive basis, are fully-funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council as part of the Northern Bridge Doctoral Training Partnership and include a tax free maintenance grant of £14,296p.a.
