In addition to their own research and doctoral studies, students with a Provost's PhD Project Award may be asked to work up to 24 hours per month on the project for their supervisor. If you are interested in this project, please send a copy of your CV/resume and a short statement on why you want to undertake this PhD project under the supervision of Assist. Prof. O'Meara to jennifer.omeara@tcd.ie. You should also include some information on your relevant experience (if any) of topics related to the project, such as your previous studies of digital media or experimental film.
