Hey all! I have a full PhD scholarship available for Queen's Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies program. Sadly it's only for Canadian citizens and residents, but in case anyone out there is eligible and interested, I'm sharing the information below.
Best! Menotti * * * Queen's University Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies graduate program is offering a fully funded PhD in the topics of *image, space, and technologies* for domestic Canadian students under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel Menotti, *beginning in September 2021*. Dr. Menotti <https://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/faculty-and-staff/faculty-and-staff-bios/gabriel-menotti> specializes in moving image curation across different platforms. He is currently working on the subject of digital replicas and cultural heritage. Dr. Menotti is looking for projects that promote new approaches to moving image practices. Possible subjects include but are not limited to: the interaction between cinema, new media and contemporary art; audiovisual installations and live performances; VR and volumetric filmmaking; videogames, machinima, procedural and algorithmic movies; online video cultures; computer vision and machine learning; media ecologies; exhibition and distribution platforms. Initiatives that deploy research-creation and curation are particularly welcomed. The selected candidate will work in connection with the Besides the Screen network <http://besidesthescreen.com/>. The grant comprises a funding package of CAD 21,000 for four years (it is the responsibility of the student to pay tuition and fees, currently around $7200). Launched in the Fall of 2019, the Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies program is a collaboration between Queen's Department of Film and Media <https://www.queensu.ca/filmandmedia/> and Agnes Etherington Art Centre <https://agnes.queensu.ca/>. The program’s three strongly interconnected areas of focus—studies, production, and curation —are designed to stimulate inventive dialogue in ways that ensure their respective influence, and in ways that open exciting points of access to multiple disciplinary formations. This collaborative tripartite structure is not offered in any other film, media, cinema, art or communication Master’s or PhD program in Ontario. Interested candidates should first contact Dr. Menotti at gabriel.meno...@queensu.ca by *December 2020*.
