[ecrea] Research Associate - University of Sheffield

*Research Assistant – Dept of Journalism Studies, University of Sheffield*

We are looking to recruit a full-time Research Associate (for 4 months 
starting on 20th August 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter) to work 
with us on an impact assessment project entitled Studio Kalangou: the 
impact of radio in Niger on women’s rights and empowerment.

Since 2016, Studio Kalangou, a news-providing radio initiative run by 
Fondation Hirondelle, a Swiss-based INGO registered in Niger, has been 
producing and broadcasting a daily two-hour news and information 
programme in Niger in five languages (French, Hausa, Zama, Tamashek, and 
Peulh). Its aim is to provide independent information to all sectors of 
society, raise awareness and contribute to the development of one of the 
poorest countries in the world. Studio Kalangou starts broadcasting 
women-themed programmes in May 2018 on a series of topics to raise 
awareness of women’s rights and empowerment.

Working in collaboration with Fondation Hirondelle in Lausanne and 
Studio Kalangou in Niger, you will be based in the Department of 
Journalism Studies in the University of Sheffield. You will be involved 
in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of data, radio programmes 
and radio generally in Niger. Fluent French is essential.

Key areas of investigation will be radio, women, politics, and Niger. 
Experience in these areas will be beneficial. You will have a good 
honours degree and be near completion of a research-led Masters or 
working on or hold a PhD in a relevant area.

The deadline is 11^th June 2018.
