Hi - dieses Mal auf Englisch, weil es um eine Stelle in Australien geht:
This came from Rewa Wright, herself a PhD candidate with Prof. Anna
Munster and a very insightful scholar of new media art.
Please contact Prof. Munster directly. - Tamiko

Rewa (r.wri...@student.unsw.edu.au) says:
This is a fully funded scholarship for up to 4 years for a new PhD
student.The Department of Art and Design at UNSW, where Anna and myself
are based, is a very pro-female, multicultural, LGBT-friendly workplace
and I would highly recommend it. Research funding in Australia is quite
generous ( usually about $26,000 PA ).
UNSW is located in Paddington, a suburb of Sydney, Australia
Professor Anna Munster says:
I have a scholarship available to a PhD student for 3 years (and the uni
will fund the 4th year extension). But I need a special kind of person.
I need someone who can or is capable of learning some database
programming skills / wants to experiment with data rendering/data viz
AND is over media studies and/or STS or critical visual cultural theory
or even political theory/ software studies etc. In some ways this is a
bit more like a ‘science’ PhD model but of course I would allow quite a
lot of creative outcomes for the person concerned.
If you know of anyone who wants to come do a PhD with me but is willing
to work more on a specific project - specifically looking at the
technological and visual histories of machine learning/pattern
recognition and neural networks and to find a way of tracing and
visually rendering that history in a meaningful (not infographics) way
via data analytical methods as those assemblages conjoin with political,
social and cultural forces across some specific empirical domains
(facial recognition, for example)– please let me know!
cheers
Anna
