PhD at Galway University

NUI Galway invites applications for a four-year fully funded scholarship in Digital Arts & Humanities to commence by January 2020. The closing date for applications is 5pm, 30 August 2019. Full details: http://bit.ly/DAH2019

Scholarships are valued at €16,000 plus fees per annum. Entrants should possess a first-class or upper second-class honours primary degree within a relevant discipline and (preferably) a Master's degree in a relevant discipline.

Digital Humanities proposals should include a strong and clearly defined 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; digital scholarly editing; distant reading; historical studies; interdisciplinary collaboration; internet history; literary studies; ontologies; stylistics and stylometry; text-mining; textual studies; visualisation.

Digital Arts proposals may examine questions such as artistic practice informed by digital media; the intersection between artistic creativity and technological innovation; or 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.

Previous Digital Arts & Humanities PhD students have also worked closely with researchers at the Data Science Institute at NUI Galway

(https://datascienceinstitute.ie/) and co-supervision may be sought from this research centre.
