CREATIVE ARTS AND INDUSTRIES PhD SCHOLARSHIPS (2 awards)

https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/scholarships-and-bursaries

The School of Creative Arts and Industries at Canterbury Christ Church 
University welcomes applications for two full-time PhD scholarship (a 
stipend of £13,000 p.a., tuition fee waiver for three years and an 
annual expense allowance of £500) in the following research areas:

  * creative arts (photography, games design, media art)
  * performing arts (dance, drama, music)
  * media and cultural studies (including film, journalism and screen
    studies)

The scholarship will be awarded to the best candidates following the 
application and interview selection process.

Preference may be given to research proposals that focus on:

  * cultural and creative industries and organisations in Kent and South
    East England
  * creative and digital innovations
  * marginalised communities and social justice
  * cultural heritage of communities

The School has a large and vibrant PhD community with approximately 50 
doctoral students. We are a leading force in research at the university 
where nearly 90% of research was recognised as world leading or 
internationally significant in REF 2014 and we expect to build on those 
successes in the coming years. In addition to our research outputs and 
success in research-degree supervisions, we maintain close links with 
international peer reviewed research journals and also with networks of 
local and international organisations through our sponsorship of the 
Canterbury Festival, links with Canterbury Cathedral (including access 
to archives), Turner Contemporary and collaboration with Screen South, 
Maidstone Studios, and the Marlowe Theatre (through the latter we 
continue to work with groups like Glyndebourne Touring Opera and the 
Philharmonia Orchestra). Through our research we aim to promote the 
public good and make a difference in the lives of the communities with 
which we engage; for example, the preservation and presentation of 
cultural heritage, giving voices to marginalised groups and exploiting 
the power of digital media and communication technologies for social and 
cultural benefits. We would be happy to help interested applicants with 
their proposals and applications and to discuss scholarship 
possibilities and supervising arrangements
