A GLASGOW university is on the hunt for experienced writers to help create a climate change drama.
The three year PhD programme at Glasgow Caledonian University will produce a script that will encourage viewers to consider the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Dr Catriona Miller, senior lecturer in MA TV Fiction Writing, said: "Drama has a huge capacity to start conversations."
The prospective script will be inspired by shows like The West Wing and The Thick of It.
Candidates will be expected to produce a dissertation as well as a completed script.
Dr Miller added: "We want someone who is already a writer, preferably with industry experience, because we're looking for an industry-ready script at the end of it.
"I hope the idea that comes forward will have the potential to become a long-running series or at least run to multiple seasons."
Applicants for the PhD are being asked to submit a research proposal with further details available HERE. The deadline for applications is March 23.
