Dear all
The PhD Candidate will work with public engagements having real-world impact. First-hand experience outside an academic environment will be supported by team involvement in University of Salford’s MediaCityUK production environment, working with the exhibition group of the Science and Industry Museum (SIM), located in Manchester https://www.scienceandindustrymuseum.org.uk/
The collaborative doctoral awards program supports a practice-based PhD in the field of digital content designed for public settings. Not a traditional museology degree, this research will include design, implementation and assessment of interactive digital content. The preferred candidate will have a background related to user experience, digital design, documentary multimedia, and interactive technology.
The candidate will develop their research while participating as member of an interdisciplinary team, based at U. Salford’s MediaCityUK campus, and will have access to tools and expertise in the collaborative. The candidate will have on-going regular access to engage with and have feedback from SIM’s Learning group, Digital group, and Audience group, as well as through SIM having access to SMG initiatives in digital strategy. Research activities will include prototyping aimed to influence the delivery of planned new public exhibitions. User experience observation will be conducted both in laboratory at the university’s MediaCityUK campus, and at SIM.
