Dear Colleagues,

Greenhouse Studios (greenhousestudios.uconn.edu) at the University of
Connecticut in partnership with the School of Fine Arts, is pleased to
announce two funded M.F.A. studentships in Digital Media & Design, an
exciting program that intersects with digital art, humanities,
science, and business. The studentships will provide full tuition,
health benefits, and a half-time graduate research assistantship with
Greenhouse Studios | Scholarly Communications Design at UConn.
Greenhouse Studios Graduate Assistants provide intellectual, artistic,
design, creative expression, and technical implementation assistance
to Greenhouse Studios projects. Working in a dynamic, team environment
alongside faculty, library, editor, and student colleagues, graduate
assistants contribute to the production of collaborative multimedia
research objects. Other responsibilities include supporting day-to-day
operations of the Greenhouse Studios, its directors, and its
collaborative workspace.

We are currently looking for some excellent MFA candidates to start in
Fall 2020. I’m reaching out to you to see if you have any senior
undergraduates or alumni who might be interested in joining us. This
is an exciting opportunity for an aspiring digital humanist or digital
artist to work in close collaboration with experts from a range of
fields and to experiment with new modes of expression and
communication.

Please share widely and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Thank you!

Tom Scheinfeldt

About the MFA in Digital Media & Design:

As part of a top-25 public research university, UConn’s Digital Media
& Design Department operates at the intersection of fine art, science,
technology, and the humanities. The program is designed for the
graduate student who has educational or career experience in digital
media and design, giving them the opportunity to intensely pursue
advanced education and research in their specific area of expertise or
in an interdisciplinary capacity drawing from more than one area
within the digital media space. Situated in the School of Fine Arts,
DMD faculty and students have the opportunity to engage in
collaborative projects with both industry partners and top researchers
across the university.

While we are located within a beautiful rural landscape, our close
proximity to Hartford (30 minutes), Providence (1 hour), Boston (1.5
hour), and New York City (2.5 hours) offers unique opportunities in a
variety of urban communities.

Please apply here by JANUARY 11, 2020. It is a two-step application
process through the Graduate School and Slideroom. The GRE is NOT
required for admission into our program. Applicants must select
Digital Media & Design in the application, and specify intent for the
Greenhouse Studios Studentship in the cover letter. Portfolios need
not be composed entirely (or mainly) of artwork. Academic writing,
poetry, code, websites, and the like are all acceptable, as we welcome
all kinds of talented people to UConn Digital Media & Design and
Greenhouse Studios!
