PhD Studentship in Human-computer Interaction Exploring AI in Film and TV

4 months ago


Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

Deadline: 6th of May (or until the position is filled)

One fully funded PhD position to work with Dr. Susan Lechelt and Prof. Ewa Luger in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh on a project titled "Scripted Production Futures in the Age of AI". The project will be supported by an industry partner: BBC R&D.

As AI evolves at an unprecedented speed, it is important to reflect on whether and how AI tools will support, or conflict with, the values embedded in the sectors in which they will be utilised. The 2023 Writers Guild of America strike brought to the fore fears about how AI will impact the scripted production sector – a creative sector comprising film and scripted TV. The aim of this project is to investigate these questions in-depth, in context of scripted production. Through qualitative and participatory design research with scripted production practitioners (e.g., scriptwriters, post-production specialists, among others), the project will inform how future AI systems, supporting aspects of scripted production workflows, can be designed with sensitivity to this sector's values.

Full details of this project are available here:

The anticipated start date is 1st October 2024.

Candidate's profile

The candidate must meet the PhD entry requirements stated here:

The AHRC expects that applicants will hold, or be studying towards, a relevant Master's qualification or have relevant professional experience to provide evidence of ability to undertake independent research.

As such, formal qualifications in technical subjects, social sciences or arts and media are welcome, as well as wider experience in creative practice or research with people. Experience in human-computer interaction, interaction design or creativity studies, prior experience working with digital tools and methods, and the use of qualitative research methods would be of particular benefit.

Studentship and eligibility

The studentship is funded by SGSAH ) and covers:

  • Full time PhD tuition fees for 3.5 years.
  • A tax-free stipend at UKRI levels for 3.5 years. The rate in 2024/25 will be £19,237.
  • A nominal budget of £1,750 in total to support conference attendance.
