Although we will support the development of your proposal we cannot
guarantee your success. All applications are assessed by the consortium
committee and it is a highly competitive process.
You will need to make an application for PhD study via the Coventry
University platform PGR+ (https://pgrplus.coventry.ac.uk/).

your planned PhD project, including key bibliographical/artistic

* 500 words (max) resume, detailing your background (be it

to this project.
In case you have previous experience which you deem relevant to the

Please note that the submission deadline is Wednesday 30th September 2020.
The Centre for Postdigital Cultures
The CPC investigates alternative forms for society in the 21st century.
Exploring issues of collaboration, community, and the commons, the
Centre facilitates new articulations of culture that call for a radical
rethinking of the relationship between the human, technology, economy
and the environment. Along with conventional arts and humanities
methods, we support PhD projects adopting a range of mixed methods,
including various practice-orientated methodologies, visual
argumentation, case studies and ethnography.
We encourage applications from suitably qualified candidates keen on
developing a doctoral research in any of the following research areas:
* Digital Arts, Humanities and Posthumanities
* Affirmative Disruption and Open Media
* Data Cities and the Politics of Care
* Art, Space and the City
* Immersive Cultures and International Heritage
* AI and Algorithmic Cultures
Further information about the Centre and our staff are available on our
website
(https://www.coventry.ac.uk/research/areas-of-research/postdigital-cultures/).
For an overview of our PGR offer please see our Study With Us pages
(https://www.coventry.ac.uk/research/areas-of-research/postdigital-cultures/study-with-us-pdc/).
Prospective PGRs are eligible for this studentship if based in the UK or
EU and if they have an MA qualification (or nearing completion), or
relevant professional experience.
Please note that candidates who do not meet the eligibility criteria for
M4C PhD funding scheme, but who are interested in PhD study at the
Centre for Postdigital Cultures, are encouraged to contact Prof. Mel
Jordan (mel.jor...@coventry.ac.uk) and Dr. Miriam De Rosa
