PhD Opportunity - Short Deadline!
A rare opportunity for a funded PhD studentship with CRUMB/
interdisciplinary. Please distribute. Previous applicants are very welcome to
apply.
Northumbria and Sunderland Universities operate a collaborative
AHRC Block Grant Partnership to support quality research and professional
training in the Arts & Humanities. Studentships cover stipend and fees
subject to eligibility criteria, and are available for uptake from
September/October 2012.
The successful candidate will join an Art and Design research area
judged to have World-Leading and Internationally Significant research outputs
in the recent Research Assessment Exercise, and with particular experience of
Practice-Led research.
The successful candidate will join a curating research area CRUMB,
judged to have World-Leading research outputs, and with a history of research
partners including BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Eyebeam Art and
Technology Center (New York) and Lancaster University. To enable
interdisciplinary research, CRUMB collaborates with supervisors from research
areas in Design (including Design4Science), Photography, Video and Digital
Imaging, and Computing. Research proposals are therefore welcome on any of a
range of current issues for curating art, and are welcomed whether they address
new media art, or other forms of contemporary art or design.
Works which use new media invite a questioning of materiality,
space and time, through their use of networks, interactivity, participation,
internationalism, and generative processes. These characteristics can also
inform the wider field of contemporary art and design, including live art,
design, and socially-engaged art, and so offer exciting opportunities to
rethink the ways in which curators work. Research proposals are welcome on any
of a range of current issues for curating art – including the work's
production, exhibition, reception, documentation and historicisation.
Deadline: 12 noon, Friday 9 March 2012.
