The second can be in any of the areas in which the Department has strong research interests which include: Romantic and Victorian Studies, Modernism, Women’s Writing, Science and the Creative Imagination (including Science Fiction), Classical Reception, Creative Writing, European Cinema, Trans-national Cinema, Sexuality and Cinema, Experimental Film and Video, Digital Media Culture, Technology and Society, The Public Sphere, Conflict and Globalisation.
Applicants should have, or expect to gain, a good honours degree or MA in a relevant field. If appointed, they will, in addition to completing a PhD, be expected to teach or offer research assistance in the Department for up to six hours per week.
