[Air-L] PhD Scholarship: Identities and Cultural Production in the Digital Age (DCU School of Communications)

[Andreas Aurelio Rauh Ortega]

Dear colleagues,


apologies for eventual cross-postings but the submission deadline is
approaching fast (March 31st) and this scholarship might be of interest
to you or someone you know who is looking to conduct full-time PhD in
Dublin City University.


The School of Communication in Dublin City University is pleased to
announce a funded PhD scholarship, covering a four-year duration.
Successful candidates will receive a tax-free stipend of €25,000 per annum
plus a full fee waiver. Additional funding is available for conference
travel and paid teaching experience to support career development.

These fellowships will explore the intersections of *identities (national,
transnational, gender-based, indigeneity-related, etc.), cultural
production, and digital technologies*. We welcome proposals engaging
critically and interdisciplinarily with topics such as, but not limited to:

   - The formation and transformation of collective identities through
   digital cultural production, which includes music and sound, recorded
   and/or performative/live,
   - Comparative analyses of digital cultural production in shaping
   identities across different contexts, including genre formation, production
   models (independent, DIY, music industry, platforms), and assisted via
   Gen-AI models
   - The role of digital media technologies in identitarian conflicts,
   including radical, alternative, and resistant identities, such as music and
   political struggle, sound and activism

Candidates should ideally hold a *Master’s degree in a relevant field*,
though practice-based doctoral projects are eligible. Industry experience
and a working knowledge of cultural production are desirable.

*Deadline for applications*: *31 March 2025*
*Start date*: September 2025

question(s), rationale, and potential methods to be used.
