[ecrea] PhD studentships at CAMRI, University of Westminster

Communication and Media Research Institute (CAMRI) Research Studentships 
in the Westminster School of Media, Arts and Design at the University of 
Westminster

Three years, full time

£16,000 annual stipend plus fee waiver

A number of full-time University of Westminster Studentships are 
available to candidates with either Home or Overseas fee status in any 
area of Media and Communication starting in September 2018.

CAMRI  (the Communication and Media Research Institute) is one of the 
leading research groups in media and communication, its work rated by 
the UK Government’s 2014 Research Excellence Framework, as 52% 4* (world 
leading), and 35% 3* (internationally excellent). We have over 20 
research active staff and 50 PhD students. We have a wide and expanding 
range of research interests, centered on three main research groups in 
social media, media policy and industries and media history. We have 
established centres for the study of the media in China, India, the Arab 
world and Africa. In the broadest sense we are interested in the social, 
economic, political and cultural significance of the media, and welcome 
proposals from prospective students on these or any other topic related 
to media and communication.

Eligible candidates will hold at least an upper second class honours 
degree and a Master’s degree. Candidates whose secondary level education 
has not been conducted in the medium of English should also demonstrate 
evidence of appropriate English language proficiency, normally defined 
as 6.5 in IELTS (with not less than 6.0 in any of the individual elements).

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.

Prospective candidates wishing to informally discuss an application 
should contact Dr Anthony McNicholas, (mcnichc /at/ westminster.ac.uk) and/or 
Dr Alessandro D’Arma, (A.Darma /at/ westminster.ac.uk)

The closing date for applications is 5pm Friday 16 February 2018
