An Foras Feasa is pleased to invite applications for funded 4-year doctoral studentships in Digital Arts and Humanities, commencing late September 2011. These are part of the structured PhD programme funded by PRTLI 5 in a consortium comprising National University of Ireland Maynooth, National University of Ireland Galway, Trinity College Dublin and University College Cork. The studentships consist of a stipend of 16,000 euro per year, for four years, plus fees (at Irish and EU level).

DAH is a four-year structured doctoral research-training programme designed to enable students to carry out research in the arts and humanities at the highest level using new media and computer technologies.

DAH students at NUI Maynooth will be part of An Foras Feasa's research institute which has state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities in the university's newly-opened Iontas building and a dynamic postgraduate community. Students will participate in a collaborative Structured Phd Programme with co-registration in An Foras Feasa and a participating academic department (e.g. English, Music, Media Studies, History, Celtic Studies, Modern Languages). An Foras Feasa specialises in the integration of humanities research with information and communications technologies; particular research strengths in the Institute and its partner departments include digital imaging, digital critical editions, data modeling, digital archives and repository development, humanities computing, software engineering, music technology and multimedia.
