Call for Applications: PhD Projects in the CCI – Join Us!
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll have seen some of the work on the use of Twitter in the Australian election that we’ve started to do. That’s part of our wider research into mapping Australian online publics which will examine interactions across blogs, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr well beyond the immediately political realm, which we’re undertaking as part of an ARC Discovery project, and in the context of our work researching our changing media ecologies in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI), based in Brisbane, Australia.
To further extend this work, we’re now calling for expressions of interests in postgraduate research within the CCI. Within the CCI, there’s a very broad range of research opportunities, and we encourage you to have a look through all of them, even if network mapping isn’t your specific interest – undertaking your PhD at the CCI means you will be working with world class researchers who can offer supervision of the highest standards. Our research activities cover a broad range of emerging issues, themes and projects across the entertainment and creative industries including innovation and policy development; significant project collaborations with Asia; a major project looking at broadband services; mapping the creative industries; IP law; a global cultural futures study and other projects which engage community and industry partners in creative industries from major film studios to the Salvation Army and ‘at-risk’ young people working as media co-creators. visit the CCI Projects Page at http://www.cci.edu.au/projects to find out more about the Centre’s activities.
