Edu: PhD Positions at Utrecht University
2007-10-17 18:59 | Posted by jpzagal | Permanent Link | Job AnnouncementsThe Game Research for Training and Entertainment (GATE) programme is a cooperation of several Dutch universities, research institutes and game development companies. Within GATE, the Research Institute for History and Culture (OGC) of Utrecht University's Faculty of Humanities executes the research project Design rules for learning through simulated worlds.
Within this project we have two PhD positions (0,8 fte each) vacant for:
- project 1: Game design as narrative architecture
- project 2: Persuasive rhetoric in game design
The interdisciplinary research project Design rules for learning through simulated worlds aims to investigate how media and game theory can be called upon to improve the design and thereby the learning results of educational entertainment and serious games. For that purpose, researchers from different disciplines such as media and culture studies and educational sciences will call upon theories of serious games and gaming in which games are not only designed and played to entertain, but also to educate, train, and inform.
