Call for applications: Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) Four-Year PhD
Studentships
DAH is a full-time four year inter-disciplinary structured PhD programme
designed to enable students to carry out research in the arts and
humanities at the highest level, using new media and computer
technologies. The programme is funded by the Higher Education Authority
under its Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions, Cycle 5
and is co-ordinated with an all-Irish university consortium: Trinity
College Dublin; National University of Ireland, Galway; National
University of Ireland, Maynooth and University College Cork. The
programme includes additional teaching contributions from Queen's
University Belfast, University of Ulster and the Royal Irish Academy and
from its industrial partners, Google, IBM, and Intel.
The consortium invites applications for a number of four-year doctoral
studentships in Digital Arts and Humanities (see below for links on the
scholarships available in individual institutions). The studentships
come with a stipend of 16,000 euro per year. Fees for Irish and EU
citizens are fully covered; for information on fees relating to non-EU
citizens, please contact the relevant contact person in each institution.
High-calibre candidates holding, or expecting to receive, a first-class
or upper second-class honours degree in an appropriate discipline, are
encouraged to apply. Candidates will choose to enter the programme
within either the ARTS or the HUMANITIES strands. All PhD programmes
are by research thesis. The taught modules will provide you with
technical and theoretical skills relevant for digital reearch. In both
strands students are required to complete core, training, and career
development modules, including main modules shared across the consortium
and others institutionally-based.
Applications must be sent directly to your preferred institution.
