The New Media Lab (NML) works with Graduate Center and CUNY faculty and doctoral students from a variety of academic disciplines to conceive and create groundbreaking multimedia projects based on student and faculty scholarly research. Our goal is to integrate digital media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology. The NML is committed to a vision of new technology based on open access to ideas, tools, and resources. With ongoing support from CUNY, the New Media Lab has become a dynamic environment in which projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, and other private and public sources demonstrate new approaches and methods of merging digital media, scholarship, and learning.

Students are welcomed to create their digital project related to their dissertation or academic research at the New Media Lab.  Students: Apply for a funded part-time position by submitting the student application or send an email to Andrea A. Vásquez with a short letter of introduction about your interests, and plan for your digital work. Learn more about jobs and awards that are available to NML students.
