Mon Nov 06 20:22:59 GMT 2017




Applications are invited for the post of Senior Research Associate to collaborate with Prof. Alan Finlayson & Dr. Robert Topinka on the project “_Political Ideology, Rhetoric and Aesthetics in the Twenty-First Century: The Case of the ‘Alt-Right’”_ which is funded through an AHRC Grant. The project aims to develop and extend our understanding of the ways in which contemporary politics and ideology are being transformed by digital media culture. It will do so through a case-study of the so-called ‘Alt-Right’ and related political ideologies and groups. The project will combine research into digital media with research in the history and theory of political ideologies, political rhetoric and social theory so as to make sense of the complex and mutually affecting interactions of technology, aesthetic style, political thought and language.

The successful applicant will be involved in the organisation and management of the project, and the running of workshops and symposia, while playing a full role in the research project. They will contribute to the development and testing of theories and methods, the gathering of online and offline materials for analysis, and the writing up of findings for academic publications.

The research will be based at the University of East Anglia in the School of//Politics, Philosophy, Language & Communication Studies.//

Essential requirements for this post include a relevant postgraduate research degree (for example in politics, rhetoric or media studies), evidence of experience of independent research leading to academic publications, evidence of experience with or ability to learn online data collection methods, and evidence of project management skills. The successful candidate will meet all the essential criteria set out in the Person Specification.

This full-time post is available from 1 February 2018 for a fixed term period of 3 years.

Closing date: 28 November 2017

*The University is a Bronze Athena Swan Award holder, currently working towards Silver.*
