The Everyday Life of Surveillance
ESRC / Surveillance Studies Network Seminar Series
While each individual seminar will be open to a restricted number of participants, and will feature high-level speakers from the UK and abroad, the Series will be based around a core group, including the organising committee, who will attend all seminars.
The organisers are looking for five or six early-career researchers to be part of the core group for the series.
Benefits
The participants will have all travel and subsistence expenses associated with attendance at the seminars met.
The participants will have the opportunity to:
- develop, broaden and intensify their interest in surveillance and related topics in a friendly but scholarly environment;
- interact with key figures in surveillance studies from the UK and beyond;
- develop new proposals for research into surveillance and related topics.
Qualifications
Candidates must:
- be based in a higher-education establishment in the United Kingdom;
- be in the process of doctoral study, or have recently been awarded a PhD, on a surveillance-related topic in the arts, social sciences or humanities;
- be able to make a commitment to attend all seminars in the series, and be likely to be involved actively in the Surveillance Studies Network in the future;
- have potential to make a strong contribution to the development of surveillance studies and to scholarship more generally.
Application
Candidates must submit:
- a 1-page A4 summary CV;
- a 1-page A4 Research Statement, outlining past and current research, and future research plans;
- a letter of application (max 2 pages A4), which should explain exactly why you want to be part of the seminar series, what you could contribute and how you would benefit, and which should also draw attention to aspects of your CVs and research statements that will be of particular interest to the organisers;
- the name of one professional referee, either a Doctoral Supervisor, Manager or Senior Colleague, who can comment on their academic ability, and who cannot be any of the organising committee.
