The Edinburgh PhD Studentship

The University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art are working
together to explore new and emerging areas of research at the boundaries
of traditional disciplines.

Dancing with a Philosopher: Movement, Embodiment and Mediation
(Edinburgh College of Art) and
Peacemaking in the World of Documentary Film
(The University of Edinburgh)

Applications are invited for two eca/University of Edinburgh funded PhD
studentships to students from any country. The projects are designed to
encourage collaboration between the two institutions and place them at the
forefront of new and emerging areas of research across the boundaries of
traditional disciplines.

Project 1: Dancing with a Philosopher: Movement, Embodiment and Mediation
(based at eca)

The goal of this study is to examine how the use of new technologies can
advance research in the area of embodied cognition, through providing
tools, conditions and practical procedures for an interdisciplinary
dialogue between contemporary dance practice and investigations in
philosophy of mind. The hope is that by casting doubt on the value of the
old distinctions between mind and material scaffolding, and between
perception, cognition, and action, we can open up a new space for
understanding performance, mind and movement.

Project 2: Peacemaking in the World of Documentary Film (based at The
University
of Edinburgh)

The goal of this study is to investigate specific aspects of peacemaking
in the world of documentary film. You will reflect and respond to the
practice of peacemaking both through creative documentary filmmaking and
analytical writing. Applicants should be able to demonstrate both
filmmaking and writing skills by submitting a sample of a finished film
and completed essay along with
their application.

Candidates should have or expect to gain a 2i or 1st class honours degree
or equivalent in an appropriate subject. The studentships are for three
years (starting October 2008) and include tuition fees at the home rate
and a standard annual stipend at the AHRC level.

More detailed information on the two Edinburgh studentship projects,
contact points for enquiries and the application process can be found at

Closing date for research studentship applications: Thursday 1 May 2008
