PhD Studentship (Digital Humanities) – University of Kent
The University of Kent is seeking at least one highly motivated and ambitious PhD candidate to apply to work within the field of
Digital Humanities. The successful candidate(s) will join the exciting new research community of the
Eastern Academic Research Consortium (EARC), which unites Kent with the Universities of East Anglia and Essex as a significant new force in research collaboration and training. This studentship
is available to UK, EU or overseas fee-paying applicants.
This opportunity is open to applications investigating any aspect of the digital humanities, broadly defined, but deploying substantial engagement with digital data or technologies. Applications in the area of Spatial Humanities and Heritage
exploring any of the following topics are particularly encouraged:
Applications will be evaluated principally on the basis of a compelling research proposal and the ability to develop the skills to execute digital work. The successful candidate(s) will work with academics at Kent
as well as the network of academics and postgraduate researchers from across EARC. Provision will be made for the appointment of additional supervisors from Essex or East Anglia if appropriate and students can take advantage of research expertise and
training offered across partner institutions. The candidate(s) will play a significant role in supporting the development of Digital Humanities across the EARC.
This fully funded PhD studentship/s offers tuition fees (Home, EU or Overseas), a stipend of
£14,057
and a research training and mobility grant. The studentship holders will be located at the University of Kent within one of its Academic Schools in Humanities (including:

Arts,
English,
European Culture and Languages,
History,
Music & Fine Art), or in Social Sciences (e.g. in
Anthropology and Conservation or
Law) or in Science (e.g. in
Engineering & Digital Arts or
Computing). Kent has a vibrant interdisciplinary research culture with over 22 research centres operating in and across the Faculty of Humanities including the
Centre for Heritage at Kent.
Applicants are encouraged to make contact with potential supervisors at the University of Kent to gauge the level of interest in and support for their topic and to help develop their proposal to fit the EARC brief.
