This post will assist with research on a three-year Arts and Humanities 
Research Council (AHRC)-funded project entitled 'Orientations in the 
Development of Pan-Arab Television for Children' (Principle Investigator 
Naomi Sakr) This project investigates changes in the creation, 
commercialisation and reception of pan-Arab television content for 
children in recent years using a three-pronged approach, that studies 
institutions, texts and audiences simultaneously. Audience research (the 
main focus of the postdoctoral researcher) will take place in households 
and among schoolchildren, in order to explore how they negotiate 
television output in developing self-identity and perceptions of otherness.

The successful applicant will be able to speak, read and write fluent 
Arabic and English; have research experience in some area of media, 
communication, education, children's studies or sociology and experience 
of  undertaking textual and/or audience research and a completed PhD in 
a relevant field.

The successful applicant will be expected to travel abroad as required 
under the project research plan. Unsociable hours may be required from 
time to time.
