Dear Colleague,

We have an opening for a fully funded PhD studentship on the topic of Responsible AI Literacy in Journalism at the University of Surrey (UK). The selected candidate will work closely with the BBC as part of their research and contribute to this project <https://braiduk.org/enhancing-responsible-ai-literacy-at-bbc-and-beyond> under my supervision.

This studentship is fully funded, including tuition fee coverage, a tax-free stipend, and funds for research and training. By default, it covers UK tuition fees, but we have provisions to waive the international fees for an exceptional candidate from a country other than the UK.

I am looking for a strong candidate with excellent research skills and familiarity/experience with the news industry.
