**DIGITAL CULTURES RESEARCH CENTRE/UWE - PhD Scholarship**
The Digital Cultures Research Centre (http:///dcrc.org.uk) at the University of the West of England in Bristol is recruiting a new fully-funded PhD student to start in January 2013. We are looking for an excellent PhD candidate in one of the research theme areas of PLAY, COLLABORATIVE MEDIA, PERVASIVE MEDIA and the ATTENTION ECONOMY. The Digital Cultures Research Centre also has a number of associated and emergent themes so that candidates are strongly urged to read the DCRC Blog (http://www.dcrc.org.uk/blog) and the profiles of staff in our network to ensure that their topic will contribute to our research community. The DCRC works across Critical, Creative and Applied modes of research and would prefer candidates who embrace at least two of these approaches.
The scholarship is available from 1 January 2013 and consists of an annual stipend of £13,590 subject to satisfactory progress. In addition, full-time tuition fees will be covered for 3 years and the writing-up fee will be covered in the 4th year.
Closing date for applications is WEDNESDAY 31 OCTOBER.
