Call for Applications: International Visiting Fellowships in Critical 
Digital & Social Media Research

The Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies (WIAS) 
www.westminster.ac.uk/wias is a newly created academic space at the 
University of Westminster in London for independent critical thinking 
beyond borders. Its inaugural research theme is Critical Digital & 
Social Media Research.

One of the WIAS’ key features is the Research Fellowship Programme that 
attracts and brings together current and future academic leaders. We 
invite applications for international junior and senior research fellows 
(from all academic backgrounds) who conduct fellowship research projects 
in the realm of Critical Social & Digital Media Research for the 
duration of 3 months in 2016. Several fellowships will be awarded as 
result of this call. The fellowships cover airfare and a contribution to 
accomodation and subsistence in London.

Funded scholarships are only awarded as a result of open calls. The WIAS 
invites both junior and senior fellows. Junior fellows are researchers 
who hold a PhD that has been awarded not more than 5 years before the 
date of the call publication. Senior fellows are researchers who hold a 
PhD that has been awarded more than 5 years before the call is published.
