Summary: The post-doctoral fellowship will last for 20 months and 
includes the participation in a broad comprehensive study of health 
crisis communication in the context of populist politics and political 
polarization, which will generate knowledge that will serve as a basis 
for mitigation strategies adopted by media organizations to be used in 
future public health crises. The study will bring significant advances 
in knowledge in two areas of social sciences and humanities: First, it 
will contribute to health communication research, and specifically to 
the understanding of the role of communication during public health 
emergencies. Second, it will make an important contribution to research 
on populist communication and political polarization.
The postdoc is expected to contribute to a line of research that will 
examine key features of media coverage of the pandemic in four 
countries, their implications for the quality of public deliberation, 
and links to polarization.
In addition to the modality requirements, knowledge in quantitative and 
qualitative content analysis, health communication and political 
communication, fluency in Portuguese (to conduct qualitative content 
analysis and in-depth interviews) and English (for working meetings with 
the project), and availability to carry out activities in the city of 
Bauru, São Paulo state, Brazil, during the term, are required. The 
doctoral degree must be in the areas of communication, social sciences, 
political science or similar.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected 
candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo 
Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 8,479.20 monthly and a 
research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the 
fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the 
research activity.
