  Expressions of Interest are invited for a PhD scholarship associated with the Australian Research Council Discovery Project ‘*Digital photography: mediation, memory and visual communication’* led by Professor Scott McQuire at the University of Melbourne.

The student will be expected to contribute to fieldwork research into everyday photographic practices, and will receive training in participant observation, interview and photo-elicitation to assist the project’s investigation of the ways in which digital photographs support new modes of mediated communication, social encounter and remembrance.

Applications are sought from those with relevant academic qualifications and expertise in one or more of the following fields: photographic theory, media and communications, visual culture, visual ethnography, cultural studies.

The scholarship offers 100% fee offset and a living allowance of $31,200 per year pro rate (2020 full time study date) for to 3.5 years.
