[ecrea] Research Assistants at Cardiff University: Digital surveillance (media coverage and tech infrastructure)

Thu Nov 20 13:37:30 GMT 2014



The Cardiff School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies (JOMEC) is looking to appoint two Research Assistants to work as part of the ESRC-funded project "Digital Citizenship and Surveillance Society: UK State-Media-Citizen Relations After the Snowden Leaks".

The project aims to explore the nature, opportunities and challenges of digital citizenship in light of the surveillance measures revealed by whistle-blower Edward Snowden, focusing on the themes of policy, technology, civil society, and news media. See http://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/dcssproject/



One of the two Research Assistants will conduct research on the media representation of the Snowden leaks, narratives of online surveillance, and challenges to press freedom in light of the Snowden leaks. The other will focus on the technical infrastructure of digital surveillance and on technical tools and software solutions that protect privacy.



The positions are part-time and for a fixed term of 6 months (RA Media) and 12 months (RA Technology).

RA Technology: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AJY768/research-assistant-technology-and-infrastructure/ (deadline 2 December)
