1/
6 months post-doc research position at Reuters Institute in Oxford 
(comparative research)


The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism in the Department of
Politics and International Relations is seeking to appoint a researcher
to work for six months on a project aimed at analysing media use, with a
particular emphasis on digital media, news, and politics, in a sample of
six countries in the Asia Pacific region (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia).

The deadline for applications is January 25.

The purpose of the project is to develop a better understanding of media
use in these countries, including the interplay between analogue and
digital media and relation between news provision and news consumption,
and how these countries compare to other high income countries in
Western Europe and North America.

It will involve a combination of survey research and desk-based
research, examining both similarities and differences across the six
case countries. The project builds on our ongoing, annual Reuters
Institute Digital News Report (www.digitalnewsreport.org
<http://www.digitalnewsreport.org/>).

This post is based on fixed-term full-time contract terms at the Reuters
Institute, 13 Norham Gardens, Oxford and is available immediately.
