The newly formed European Training Network (ETN) "G-VERSITY - Achieving 
Gender Diversity" will determine how significant background factors 
affect educational and professional pathways of women and men, including 
sexual and gender minorities, and produce scientifically based 
interventions for use in the workplace-including workshops, guidelines, 
and training materials, to be applied by employers to attain gender 
diversity.

G-Versity will provide 15 PhD positions for international early career 
researchers who demonstrate a high motivation to do research on gender 
diversity and a strong desire to work in a trans-disciplinary research 
environment. Please check all formal eligibility criteria here:

Social media are changing the techniques for the social and cultural 
construction of gender. Social media have transformed both the private 
discourses of adolescents with their peers and the presentation of 
adolescents' developing professional identities. The aims of this PhD 
project are to identify how adolescents communicate their gender and 
professional aspirations in digital media and to assess the relation 
between (de-)gendered self-portrayals in digital media and professional 
aspirations.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with . a strong interest 
and relevant past experience in research on gender diversity and/or 
social media.
. a very good university master's degree in communication studies, media 
pedagogy or in a related discipline.
. relevant empirical research experiences (e.g., setting up research 
designs, scientific writing skills, etc.). . very good methodological 
skills (e.g., social media data mining, content analysis).
. very good English skills. . ability to work independently and to 
collaborate in teams. . organizational talent and project management skills.

Media coverage strongly relies on gendered patterns of representation 
and addresses the audience with well-known stereotypes, contributing to 
gender-imbalanced representation of women and men in certain 
professions. The aims of this PhD project are to identify gendered forms 
of media representation depending on social status on public television 
and to assess differences in gendered media representations between 
privileged and disadvantaged social groups in public television.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with . a strong interest 
and relevant past experience in research on gender diversity and media 
research.
. a very good university master's degree in communication studies, 
journalism or in a related discipline of social sciences.
. relevant empirical research experiences (e.g., setting up research 
designs , scientific writing skills, etc.). . very good methodological 
skills (e.g., content analysis, interviews, focus groups).
. very good German skills, good English skills. . ability to work 
independently and to collaborate in teams. . organizational talent and 
project management skills.
