[Air-L] 2 NUS PhD Scholarships: Digital Resilience Frameworks

[Jun YU]

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to share that we are recruiting 2 doctoral researchers to work on the indicator frameworks for evaluating digital resilience.

The National University of Singapore<https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-university-of-singapore/> (NUS) is offering 2 PhD scholarships to international scholars of exceptional talent to contribute to a ministry-funded research project on digital information resilience (https://ctic.nus.edu.sg/igyro/). This scholarship will be for PhD admission in August 2025.

The PhD projects will align with the research stream that focuses on media, policy and regulation, and indicator frameworks for evaluating digital resilience. Topics that focus on women and youth, gender and generative AI, AI and communication, and methods from the social sciences (qualitative, quantitative and computational) are especially welcomed.

The PhD project will be located at the NUS Centre for Trusted Internet and Community<https://www.linkedin.com/company/nus-ctic/> (https://ctic.nus.edu.sg/) and hosted in the NUS Communications and New Media<https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnmnus/> (https://fass.nus.edu.sg/cnm/) in NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences<https://www.linkedin.com/company/nusfass/>. The PhD project must align with the research priorities of the funded project. In addition to the scholarship and superior academic supervision, the Scholarship will also offer a professional training programme to support the PhD scholar.
