[Commlist] 2nd Call for Participants: New Scholars - PhD/ECR Fellowship programme

Bristol+Bath Creative R+D <https://bristolbathcreative.org/>, part of 
AHRC’s Creative Industry Clusters Programme, is seeking seeking *16 
UK-based PhD students/Early Career Researchers* to become part of a 
training and development scheme, delivered as a twelve-month programme 
of workshops, skills development, critical exploration, funded research 
and collaboration.

Fellows will benefit from a year of support alongside their existing 
studies/work to help them boost their research ambitions, gain insight 
into collaborative work, and develop funded research with access to 
academics and creatives in the sector. Also, there will be the 
opportunity to co-produce the content of the scheme, and seek mutual 
support from a network of peers who together make up the New Scholar cohort.

Applicants should be associated with a university currently involved in 
the *AHRC CICP* 
<https://ahrc.ukri.org/innovation/creative-economy-research/the-creative-industries-clusters-programme/> 
scheme (including the Creative Policy and Evidence Centre), but do not 
have to be directly involved in the programme to be eligible. You don’t 
have to be part of any specific discipline. We also don’t distinguish 
between practice-based and more traditional research.

However, your research should broadly be concerned with one or more of 
the following areas: creative economy; cultures of creative or 
innovative practice; inclusion, participation, and social justice in 
creative and cultural work; ethics in creative technology; knowledge 
exchange and social engagement; responsible innovation, creative 
practice; sociology or cultures of technology; social and cultural value 
in the creative sector; diverse economies.

The New Scholar Fellowship Scheme 
<https://bristolbathcreative.org/pathfinders/creative-ecologies#new-scholars> 
offers:

- Four workshops, delivered through a blend of online and in-person in 
Bristol (where circumstances allow). The scheme will pay for any travel, 
accommodation, subsistence, and access support required.
- Regular online check-ins in with the team between workshops.
- A chance to build a network with your cohort of Fellows, as well as 
engagement with a community of academics, creative practitioners, 
businesses, and researchers whose work crosses the fields of creative 
economy, inclusion, collaboration, sustainable business, and more.
- A bursary of up to £3,000 for each Fellow to conduct or enhance 
existing research plans, either as part of PhD fieldwork, or independent 
research as an ECR role. Uses could include:
* running a series of events, workshops to convene a network
* paying for consultation/collaboration with external partners
* undertaking professional development courses or similar
* Paying for the production or use of creative technologies to expand or 
enhance your research practice
* Conference attendance

Fellows will be supported to refine their plans for the bursary as part 
of the scheme, providing experience in bid writing, project planning and 
pitching, as well as experience managing budgets and delivering projects 
to a fixed timescale. Bursaries can be collaborations with other New 
Scholars in the cohort.
*Please note the bursary cannot be used to pay for the Fellow’s time*.
Fellows will report on bursary activity at the end of the programme, but 
all the spend does not need to occur during the 12 months.
