Comparative Study of the Asterix Comic Book Series

The Monash University PhD scholarship offers a unique opportunity to undertake a comparative study of the extraordinary popularity of the Asterix comic book series across at least two of the following three case studies: Canada, the US, and the UK, from the 1960s onwards.

  • This research will mirror the central questions of an ARC-funded project regarding the series' attractions for readers and the meanings given to the series.

The successful candidate will be integrated into an already successful research agenda, benefit from expert supervision, and contribute to outcomes such as co-authored publications and funded symposia. The university is one of the largest in Australia and regularly ranks among the top universities worldwide.

Requirements
  • A proven track record in research fieldwork and historical methodology.
  • An Australian (or equivalent international) Honours or Master's degree in a relevant field with a significant research component and first-class honours awarded.

Candidates must be enrolled full-time and on campus. Please note that applicants who already hold a PhD will not be considered.
