[Commlist] Three-year research fellow on ‘Generic visuals in the news’

We are appointing a three-year, full-time postdoctoral research fellow 
to join us (Dr Giorgia Aiello, Professor Christopher Anderson & 
Professor Helen Kennedy) on /Generic Visuals in the News: The Role of 
Stock Photos and Simple Data Visualizations in Assembling Publics/, from 
1^st  October 2020 until 30^th  September 2023. /Generic Visuals in the 
News, /a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research 
Council, will explore how generic visuals assemble political publics. Do 
stock photographs and simple data visualizations - which are 
increasingly ubiquitous and understudied - bring groups of people 
together around shared interests and concerns? Do they activate citizens 
to care about particular issues and lead to specific forms of political 
engagement? /Generic Visuals in the News/ will use mixed methods, 
combining ethnographic fieldwork, focus groups, interviews, and social 
semiotic analysis. The successful candidate will be a key member of the 
research team, carrying out research in newsrooms, analysing generic 
visuals, and interviewing members of the public in order to explore how 
they respond to generic visuals in the news, amongst other duties.

Closing date: Monday 17^th August 2020.
