Subject: AHRC Studentships at the University of Sussex
Please pass this information on to those who might be interested :
The Department of Media and Film at Sussex is pleased to offer AHRC-funded
doctoral studentships in the following subject areas: in Film and
Television ; Film, Digital and Media Production; and Cultural Studies,
together with an AHRC-funded Research Preparation Masters studentship in
Cultural Studies.
Media and Film at Sussex is one of the leading departments in the UK in the
field of media theory, practice and research. We have a firmly established
reputation in both teaching and research, built on our distinctive
interdisciplinary approach. In the 2008 national research assessment
exercise (RAE) our results were excellent, placing us joint 8th out of 47
UK departments, and in the top 5 according to a 'Research Power' rating
based on the top two RAE bands. 100% of our research activity in Media and
Film was rated as 'internationally recognised', internationally excellent'
or 'world leading'. Our Department is regularly ranked in the top 10 in the
UK (eg. in 'The Complete University Guide 2008').
In our engagements with the media we explore, interrogate and bring
together theoretical, critical and methodological traditions drawn from the
humanities, social sciences and creative practices. The special focus of
our work is on the decisive cultural role of media systems within modern
societies. We have a thriving research culture that currently includes
around 50 doctoral students, and the AHRC judges our training and
supervision to be 'excellent'. Our brand new production facilities are
state of the art and we have a dedicated media and film library. We also
have links with many Brighton-based, national and international creative
and media organisations.
