Up to ten 4 year PhD Studentships available in an exciting
cross-disciplinary
programme:
Creating Innovative People for Radical Change in the Digital
Economy
The HighWire Programme, Lancaster University, UK
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Are you interested in technology, its relationship to creative
practices or
business and in acquiring the necessary skills to lead innovation in
the exciting
world of the digital economy? We are currently recruiting exceptional
students
with backgrounds in computing, design and management to join HighWire from
October 2009.
HighWire is a world class, cross-disciplinary and user-centric
Doctoral Training
Centre which places innovation at the heart of its curriculum and
ethos. We go
beyond traditional multi-disciplinary approaches by seeking a creative
fusion
between three key disciplines, namely computer science, management and
design.
The emphasis is on producing a new breed of innovative people who
understand and are able to advance the state of the art in technical,
design
and business innovation: innovative people prepared to work in challenging
roles in organisations and ready to drive radical change in the
digital economy.
We closely align with the needs and goals of business and industry to
ensure
the relevance of our programme and to encourage technology exchange and
early adoption of emerging technologies, processes and ideas.
This builds on the strengths of Lancaster University's InfoLab21
initiative, a
recognised leader in technology exchange, to seek a more value-added and
marketable pathway from the digital laboratory to the marketplace.
If you join HighWire, you would:
• Undertake a 4 year MRes+PhD programme
• Receive a £16,290 p.a. enhanced stipend
• Study in a new purpose-built facility on the Lancaster University
campus
• Understand and apply innovation to the digital economy
• Perform research focused on problems, not disciplines
• Have a real impact on industry and society
• Work with world-leading commercial partners
We would like to invite you to a recruitment event on Wednesday 11th March
2009 at Lancaster University. For more information on this event and about
the programme generally please go to: http://highwire.lancaster.ac.uk/
Our website also provides instructions on how to apply. Please pay

Informal enquiries can also be addressed to Professor Gordon Blair,
Director of
HighWire (email: highwire@lancaster.ac.uk).
The closing date for the first wave of applications is 31 March 2009
(further
opportunities to apply may be available after this date).
