Two Research Associates in DH, Cambridge
« Torna all'elenco
Inserito il 18/01/2013
We are recruiting two early career research associates - one in multi-media
programming; the other in digital anthropology or sociology - to work
part-time on "Digital Bridges: 'Have you lost your password?'", based at
the University of Cambridge.
Directed by Professor Simon Goldhill (CRASSH)
with Dr Jenna Ng (CRASSH) as the project leader, this project is co-funded
and co-sponsored by the AHRC and the Palace Theatre at Watford, a leading
regional theatre. The Palace Theatre, under the directorship of Brigid
Larmour, has noticed that there is very little theatrical exploration of
the new digital world and has consequently commissioned three writers to
produce pieces, going into rehearsals in the summer of 2013, on the role of
the digital in society. The three playwrights are Stacey Gregg, E.V. Crow
and Gary Owen (three young but successful writers whose work has been
performed at the Royal Court, The Bush and the National Theatre of Wales).
The goal is to establish a network of creative exchange between new digital
research and its potential for drama through a discussion between theatre
practitioners and active researchers in the digital world, leading to
performances in the theatre and pre- and after-show discussions with
theatre makes, academics and audiences. This exchange will also involve
training for our early career academics first in the interface between
research and the creative arts, specifically with regard to theatre, and,
second, in the issue of science and society - how the public can be
intelligently and creatively informed about the consequences and
implication of scientific development.
Applicants should be high-calibre early career researchers (within 8 years
of the award of their PhD, or have submitted their thesis and be awaiting
examination).

information, including application procedure. Application deadline is *12
noon, 25 January 2013.
