Woking, Surrey, United Kingdom University of Gloucestershire Full time

The University of Gloucestershire's School of Creative Arts invites applications for a funded full-time PhD position. The project, Material Thinking, will focus on sustainable making practices in the context of the climate emergency.

This PhD opportunity is aligned with the school's research priorities, specifically the theme of Materiality in Creative Practice. The successful candidate will be part of a network of researchers exploring transdisciplinary research practices and collaborative exchange projects.

We welcome proposals from artists and creative practitioners in disciplines including Painting, Performance, Sculpture, Video, and Sound. The studentship offers the chance to work within a practice-led approach, discovering new knowledge through making.

The project will be developed through an exhibition programme co-developed by the candidate, building on the school's recent work with the Ingram Collection and the Lightbox, Woking. This includes collaborations with the RWA Bristol, Eagle Gallery London, Sheffield Museums, and other institutions.
