The School of Business, Law and Social Sciences (BLSS) and the School of Design and informatics are both participating in a new research project called GAME-ER (Gaming Clusters Across Multiple European Regions), a 36-month international collaborative project which seeks to research video game clusters across Europe.

Reporting to Professor Stefano De Paoli and Dr Darshana Jayemanne, you will be required to support the conduction of the research for GAME-ER with a focus on the Dundee videogames cluster.
