[Air-L] recruiting PhD students for the Media Archaeology Lab via the Intermedia Arts, Writing, and Performance Program

[Lori Emerson]

Dear all,

I would be so grateful if you would share this announcement far and wide to
anyone you think might be interested and/or a good fit. In short, I'm
trying to recruit a new PhD student to develop programming in and around
the Media Archaeology Lab as part of their degree. Details below!

many thanks,
Lori Emerson

Applications are now being accepted for the University of Colorado
at Boulder's four-year, fully-funded, practice-based PhD in Intermedia Art,
Writing and Performance. In particular, I am recruiting a fully funded PhD
student to work in the Media Archaeology Lab as part of the student's own
research agenda and/or artistic practice and as part of the research
assistantship they will take up in the lab for semesters throughout their
degree. I am interested in applicants who work in any combination of the
following fields: media archaeology, retrocomputing, history of computing,
history of technology, (alternative/experimental) networks,
(alternative/experimental) curatorial and archival practice, digital
preservation, digital literature, and net art. In short, the successful
student will be expected to develop programming in the MAL in a way that
benefits both the student's career trajectory as well as the needs of the
lab.



The Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance (IAWP) program is entering its
fourth year and is an interdisciplinary digital arts and humanities
research unit with a practice-based PhD. Located in the University of
Colorado's College of Media, Communication and Information, IAWP's
core faculty collaboratively investigate past and present forms of digital
art, writing, and performance and offer graduate students a
hands-on, experiential-based learning environment in which to explore
emerging forms of creativity triggered by practice-based research
methodologies. The program concentrates its curriculum on digital forms of
creativity so as to cultivate cutting-edge investigations into the
practice, theory, history, and philosophy of media and its relationships to
creativity, communication, technology, and information.

IAWP’s internationally-renowned and affiliated faculty network
collaborate with graduate students probing the significance of a
digitally-expanded, process-based research environment located in a cluster
of interdisciplinary research labs. The program provides a
flexible pedagogical structure that will lead to the creation of new and
hybridized forms of art, writing, performance, scholarship, theory, design,
curation, exhibition, and publication appropriate for our current cultural
moment.



Note that while I am looking for a student to work in the MAL, we are also
interested in students working in emerging forms of electronic literature,
net art, and digital publishing.

Application deadlines: International: December 1, 2018 // Domestic: January
1, 2019
