[ecrea] Post-doctoral research jobs at the Reuters Institute, U of Oxford

Post-doctoral research positions in digital news and journalism at the 
Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of 
Oxford is seeking to appoint up to three new post-doctoral Research 
Fellows to work for one or two years (depending on what works best for 
the strongest candidates) as part of a larger project aimed at analysing 
media developments in a sample of more than thirty countries (most of 
them in Europe), with a particular emphasis on digital media, news, and 
politics.

We are particularly interested in new colleagues who can help us develop 
our understanding of one of the following key areas:

·  Audiences’ engagement with and perception of news and media: how can 
data from the Digital News Report survey and other research help us 
understand how people around the world engage with news and media, what 
their attitudes are towards journalism and digital technology, and what 
political, social, and other factors influence their news and media use?

·    Business model innovation and digital news: how are media 
organisations developing new sources of revenue and new business models 
to sustain news production in a digital media environment?

·    Content and format innovation: how are journalists and news media 
evolving new ways of telling stories that go beyond the traditional 
forms of text, images, and video to embrace the potential of digital media?

·    Trust in the news: how can we better understand, quantitatively and 
qualitatively, trust in the news and ways in which journalists and news 
media can address declining trust and reconnect with alienated audiences 
who do not always see news as relevant?

The posts are available as soon as possible for up to 2 years. Start 
date and length will be agreed individually.

These positions are an exceptional chance to be part of one of the 
largest international studies of journalism and news in the world. Our 
previous post-doctoral researchers have gone on to very good jobs 
including tenure-track jobs in Germany, Ireland, the UK, the US and 
elsewhere.
