The Research Cluster on Cognition and Poetics at Osnabrück University offers a 2 year PhD fellowship on the topic of Cognition & Poetics, starting from Sep. 2017.
This topic has the potential to cover all sorts of Computational Narratology research including computational or interactive storytelling, so it might be of interest to some people here. Feel free to forward this call to your students!
The main supervision will be done by Prof. Mark Turner of Case Western and by the Institute for English and American Studies, Uni Osnabrück. However, the Institute for Cognitive Science is also close by for interesting collaborations and I can provide connections with its AI research group under Prof. Kühnberger. Application deadline is September 1st. For all details see the call:

I work on computational storytelling myself so I would be very happy to see this position filled by a kindred mind. ;)
Best regard and good luck,
Leonid Berov
