AHRC National Productivity Investment Fund PhD Studentships in UK, 2018

The Animating Text Newcastle University (ATNU) project is delighted to offer AHRC National Productivity Investment Fund Studentships. UK and EU students are eligible to apply for this studentship.

The studentship competition is designed to be open and transparent, with academic and professional services staff actively engaged in and supporting the application process. All assessment decisions are based on clear and agreed assessment criteria.

Animating Text Newcastle University (ATNU) is a digital collaboration between scholarly editors based in humanities disciplines and the Digital Institute that sets out to create new ways in which readers/users can interact with texts, and to explore and test opportunities for immersive reading/writing. What’s unique about ATNU is that our ideas for the immersive texts of the future are based on the texts and books of the past that we are editing (1500-1900), which were already imagined as variable, dynamic, vital, and interactive, akin to a 3D experience.
