‘Children with Learning Disabilities as Digital Audiences’: fully funded PhD opportunity

Applications are invited for a full PhD studentship in Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow, to work in collaboration with the Children’s Department at BBC Scotland.

The aim of the project is to explore the provision and design of digital media by the BBC for older children with learning disabilities. This will require the researcher to divide time between the University and BBC Scotland.

The studentship is funded for three-and-a-half years to commence in October 2016. The University is looking for candidates with academic, audience development or production backgrounds. More information here.

To find out more about the project and how to apply please write to Dr. Amy Holdsworth in the first instance.
