Three-year full time funded PhD Studentship Digital Neighbourhoods

This project explores the links between ICT infrastructures and social
communities. The project will study how such ICT infrastructures, and
in particular broadband internet access, become localized within a
community; and the broader impacts this may have on social networks
and sense of place within a neighbourhood setting. It aims to provide
insights and formulate recommendations on how online social networks
can integrate with place-based communities in order to overcome
digital divides at a neighbourhood level.

Applications are invited from candidates for a 3 year full time PhD
studentship at Plymouth University under the supervision of Dr.
Katharine Willis and Professor Alessandro Aurigi.

The studentship pays for fees (at the UK home student rate) and
provides a £13726 per year stipend for the student for three years.
The project is part of a larger research project funded by the EU
Marie Curie programme and the European Regional Development Fund.

Studentship Description

The student will develop a theoretical approach around the topic of
the relationship between digital community and physical neighbourhood
as well as undertaking research using a range of quantitative and
qualitative methods, but with a focus on social network analysis. The
student will spend time undertaking fieldwork in four neighbourhoods
in Cornwall, in order to assess the social and spatial roles and
implications of internet infrastructures. The student will benefit
from interactions with researchers from a range of disciplines and
with project partners such as Superfast Cornwall/ERDF. BT, Citizen’s
Online and the local community organisations.

Person Specification

Applicants should have a Masters qualification in Architecture, Urban
Studies, Urban Sociology, Anthropology or another related discipline.
Applicants would be expected to have a clear interest in the impacts
of technologies on the use of public space and on social networks, and
an ability to undertake cross-disciplinary research with a strong
spatial component. Strong analytical skills are desirable, as is
experience of conducting fieldwork and an ability to work
independently. Candidates should have excellent written and oral
communication skills. We will actively support students in
disseminating the results of their work and the development of their
academic career.

9. Language of study
Italian is the required language of study in Italy. A basic knowledge of Italian is necessary even at Universities offering courses in English. Adequate knowledge of the Italian language is indispensible to obtaining a bursary and to enrolment in a university course in Italy, and must be certified in writing. Applicants will need a certificate of intermediate level Italian (e.g. CILS B2, CELI 3, PLIDA B2 or INT.IT Roma Tre) or of equivalent linguistic competence issued by a local organization or language school (e.g. Italian Cultural Institute, Dante Alighieri Society branch etc.).

Bursary-holders in Italy must abide by the rules and regulations specified in the updated "Memorandum for Bursary-holders" (Regolamento del Borsista):

http://www.esteri.it/MAE/EN/Ministero/Servizi/Stranieri/Opportunita/BorseStudio_stranieri.htm?LANG=EN

For other useful information check periodically this page dedicated to foreign students.
The non-observance of those rules and regulations will invalidate the bursary.
12. Entry Visa in Italy
All bursary-holders must arrive in Italy with an entry visa for study purposes issued by the Italian diplomatic mission and valid for the entire duration of the bursary. Exemptions from visa requirements include European Union citizens and the citizens of countries with which Italy has bilateral agreements on such matters. Upon arrival in Italy bursary-holders must go, within eight (8) days, to the Questura (Police) of the town or city where they will be living during their studies. They should apply at the Questura for a residence permit for study reasons. In the case of arrival in Italy before the bursary start date, the bursary-holder will have to apply for the residence permit according to the instructions of the Questura.
13. Travel to Italy and back
Bursaries do not usually cover airfares or other travel expenses. Italian diplomatic missions will inform bursary-holders of any exceptions.
14. Bursary payments
Payment of bursaries will take place on a three-months basis and normally during the quarter of reference by bank transfer to an Italian bank or postal account in the name of the bursaryholder, who holds the responsibility for opening the account and transmitting its details to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome, Office VII of the DGSP.
For the academic year 2013-2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has signed a Convention with several Italian Universities (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, Università Bocconi, Università degli studi di Torino, Università degli studi di Milano, Università degli studi di Roma Tor Vergata, Università per stranieri di Perugia, Università per stranieri di Siena, Università per stranieri "Dante Alighieri" di Reggio Calabria) according to which, among other facilitations, all bursary payments will be made directly to the students by the University itself with a shortened and simplified procedure.
15. Health and accident insurance
For the sole period of the bursary granted by the Italian government, foreign bursary-holders are covered by an insurance policy that covers eventual expenses incurred as a result of illness and/or accident. Residence permits for study during periods not included in the duration of the bursary will be issued by the Questura only to foreign students with health insurance coverage. Therefore, bursary-holders who arrive in Italy before the start date of the bursary or that need to stay on after its expiration, if they are non-EU citizens (i.e. do not have a T.E.A.M., E111 or E128 health insurance card from their home country), will have to take out health insurance at their own expense.
16. Enrolment fee exemptions
Foreign holders of Italian government bursaries enrolled in First Level Degree Courses (Corsi di Laurea di Primo Livello) Second Level Degree Courses (Laurea Magistrale), Schools of Specialisation (Scuole di Specializzazione) (with the exception of medical studies) and research doctorates (Dottorati di ricerca) are exempt from university enrolment fees (ref: D.P.C.M. 09/04/2001).
Students enrolled in individual courses, professional training, art and music courses, Level I and II Masters courses, will be required to pay related enrolment fees.
17. Bursary renewal
Foreign students or Italians Residing Abroad (IREs) holding bursaries may apply for renewal for the continuation or completion of a multi-year course of study (Corsi di Laurea, Scuole di Specializzazione, Dottorati di Ricerca). The procedures and timeframes for applicants wishing to renew a bursary are the same as for all other new applicants. Bursary-holders requesting the first renewal will have to have passed at least two exams in the preceding year. Subsequent renewals depend on passing all the exams included in the study plan for the preceding academic years and two in the current academic year at the deadline for bursary renewal application. Renewals may be accorded only for a number of years not exceeding the legal length of course of study. Bursary-holders that have passed the age limit (See above, point 6) may not apply for renewal.
