Studentships to study the nature of information at The Open University

The department where I work at the Open University in Milton Keynes, UK, is offering two full-time PhD studentships.  The details are here: http://www.open.ac.uk/about/employment/vacancies/phd-studentship-10211 

Note the deadline of 10th March

Applications are invited to work in any of the fields of interest of the department, and that includes the study of information.  See the list of topics of interest here: http://www9.open.ac.uk/mct-cc/study/research-degrees/student-projects,

but note especially:

 An interdisciplinary understanding of the nature of information 

and:

 Examining the historical roots and social aspects of the nature of information

Both of these would be based in the DTMD Research Group.

If you might be interested in studying for a PhD in either of these areas, or you have an idea for a related topic, please get in touch with me (david.chapman[at]open.ac.uk) as soon as possible.

And please pass this on!

Studentships to study information - deadline extended

The deadline for applications to apply for studentships in the Computing and Communications Department at the Open University has been extended to the end of May. I wrote about these a few weeks back,

Please spread the word. It amazes me that we (the Department in general, not just my area) don't get more applications. A studentship is not a bad deal!
