[UK] 5 PhD Studentships in Media Studies at University of Sunderland

University of Sunderland
POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS IN MEDIA AND CULTURAL STUDIES

Building on our recent success in RAE 2008 (65% World Leading/Internation ally Excellent research), the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies invites applications for five fully-funded PhD research studentships. Applicants should be suitably qualified and motivated to undertake a full-time programme of research leading to a PhD. Although we welcome applications from across the field of media and cultural studies, we would be particularly interested in research projects that fall within one of the Centre`s general research themes:

• Histories and Theories
• Texts, Performances and Identities
• Technologies and Spaces of Communication

Further details of staff research interests are available at http://centres.sunderland.ac.uk/crmcs/ The studentships will include the payment of all tuition fees and carry an annual bursary for a maximum of three years. Students will be provided with a programme of research training and excellent facilities on the University of Sunderland`s new St Peter`s Campus.

Closing date for the receipt of applications: 1 September 2009.
