* Women's leadership and political communication (socio-digital 
communication, cyber- harassment, media image). Professor in charge:

intelligence, digital media ecosystems.Professor in charge: Colette 
Brin, Université Laval ((colette.brin /at/ com.ulaval.ca)). * Mediatization of 
public opinion. Professor in charge: Frédérick Bastien, Université de 
Montréal 
((f.bastien /at/ umontreal.ca)).  Prior to submitting an application, 
candidates must make arrangements with a GRCP professor/researcher who 
will act as the postdoctoral fellowship’ supervisor.
