[ecrea] Senior Research Associate, University of East Anglia

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
