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:
1. Histories and Theories
2. Texts, Performances and Identities
3. 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.

Further details of these studentships and application forms are available from:
