> The School of Museum Studies at the University of Leicester is delighted

> Research Awards for candidates interested in pursuing funded (or

> I am particularly pleased to highlight one of the research awards for
> applicants looking to undertake PhD research, with me, in the area of
> digital heritage.

>
> Specifically, the digital heritage award is offered to support candidates
> aiming to investigate museums' online performance. Whilst applications are
> encouraged on any aspect of museums' use of the Web, the School
> particularly welcomes proposals that consider approaches for measuring the
> value and impact of online digital culture. Proposed research might engage
> with any of the following: what data museums' are currently returning to
> demonstrate the usage of their web-based resources, and the robustness of
> this data; how visitors use (and what expectations they have of) museum
> websites; how, more generally and widely, users are engaging with heritage
> and culture online (beyond museum websites) and how this might impact upon
> the strategies museums use to frame their own content; and how museums
> might understand and evidence their impact within a more distributed Web
> 2.0 environment of social media and user-generated content. This
> scholarship forms part of the School of Museum Studies' partnership with
> Culture24, and, consequently, during the research the successful candidate
> will have an opportunity to contribute directly to (and draw from) this
> international initiative to improve the way that online cultural
> activities are evaluated. The project will be supervised by Dr. Ross
> Parry.
>
> The deadline for applications to the School is **31 January**.
