Congratulations to DMRCs Dr Ariadna Matamoros-Fernandez who has been funded under the QUT Early Career Researcher Scheme 2020 for her project ‘Digital blackface and the limits of humour on social media’.
The Early Career Researcher Scheme supports high quality applications from early career researchers (ECR) or teams of ECRs to undertake innovative research projects.
Specifically, the scheme aims to:
- encourage staff who meet the ECR definition to enhance their research expertise and track record by identifying and undertaking an innovative research project in their discipline area;
- provide modest seed funding to assist ECRs to undertake a pilot project with a view to attracting external funding;
- facilitate research mentoring and research plan development by linking ECRs with experienced mentors and sponsors; and
- encourage collaboration between faculties, institutes, schools and centres.
