The School of Communications at Dublin City University invites applications for a full-time, three-year, funded PhD studentship. The PhD is linked to the Worlds of Journalism study in which the School of Communications is a participant member.

As part of their studies the doctoral student will be expected to provide assistance to the research team on the Worlds of Journalism study in terms of defined quantitative and qualitative research.
Worth of Scholarships: The studentship provides for a €12,000 annual stipend, plus fees waiver.

(or other related duties) within the School.
