AHRC RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP - Children's Media in the Arab World
AHRC RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP - Children's Media in the Arab World
The University of Westminster invites applications for a full-time
three-year AHRC-funded PhD studentship exploring ODefinitions of Childhood
in the Arab World and their Implications for Screen-Based Media’, starting
in January 2013 within the University’s Arab Media Centre.
Three years, full time £16,000 annual stipend plus fee waiver
The PhD is linked to a three year AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research
Council) study on OOrientations in the Development of Pan-Arab Television by
Children’, led by Professor Naomi Sakr, Professor Jeanette Steemers and Dr
Tarik Sabry, which starts in January 2013. As part of their studies the
doctoral student will be expected to provide some assistance to the research
team on tasks that relate directly to the student’s research topic
(including literature reviews, document summaries, television programme
analysis and the transcription and analysis of research data).
Successful candidates must be able to read and speak Arabic to a competent
level. We particularly welcome candidates with a strong interest in
children’s media or media industries more generally, but are also interested
in candidates who are knowledgeable about Arab history, politics and
culture.
The PhD will be suitable for candidates with a good first degree in the
social sciences or arts and humanities (2.1 or better). Candidates would
normally be expected to have a Masters degree in a related area, with
experience in research methods at that level, but we will also consider
candidates with an excellent first degree.
To be eligible candidates must have a relevant connection with the UK,
normally consisting of a minimum of three years UK residence for purposes
other than education.
The studentship will be located within the Communication and Media Research
Institute (CAMRI) at the University of Westminster - the UK’s number one
research group in media and communication as rated by the UK Government’s
2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
The Studentship consists of a fee waiver and a stipend of £16,000 per annum.
Successful candidates will be expected to undertake some teaching duties.
Prospective candidates wishing to informally discuss an application should
contact Professor Naomi Sakr, N.Sakr01@westminster.ac.uk.
