NUI Galway invites applications for a fully-funded four-year
scholarship in the Digital Arts & Humanities structured PhD programme,
to commence in January 2016. Scholarships are valued at €16,000 plus
fees per annum. Entrants will be expected to have a first-class or
upper second-class honours degree within a relevant
discipline. Applicants proposing practice-based research should
provide evidence of their work in the relevant area of practice.
Candidates who have applied previously to the DAH programme may apply
for this scholarship only with a new proposal.
Applications are invited in the area of Digital Humanities or Digital
Arts research.
Digital Humanities proposals should include a strong digital
component, either as a core method of research and dissemination, or
as a subject of research in itself. Proposals may address any topic
within Digital Humanities, including (but not limited to): archives &
preservation; authorship attribution; classical studies; corpus
analysis; crowdsourcing; historical studies; interdisciplinary
collaboration; internet history; literary studies; natural language
processing; ontologies; scholarly editing; stylistics and stylometry;
text-mining; textual studies; visualisation. Previous DAH students
have also worked closely with researchers at the Insight Centre for
Data Analytics in Galway (https://www.insight-centre.org/).
Digital Arts proposals may examine questions such as artistic practice
informed by digital media; the intersection between artistic
creativity and technological innovation; the impact of the digital on
the form, structure and function of narrative. Proposals for
practice-based doctorates are welcome as well as traditional academic
formats.
Prospective applicants should identify and indicate potential
supervisors for their research proposal:
