[Commlist] CfA Research Associate - Pandemic Communication in Times of Populism

Thu Mar 03 22:04:08 GMT 2022





*School of Social Sciences and Humanities*

*Communication and Media*

Research Associate for the project “PANCOPOP: Pandemic Communication in Times of Populism”

Full-time and fixed-term for 21 months, starting 1st May 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the PANCOPOP Project, led by Professor Sabina Mihelj from the Communication and Media division in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities. The project involves an international team of researchers who will develop a comprehensive, comparative study of health crisis communication in the context of populist politics, bringing significant advances in knowledge at the intersection of political communication and public health. The focus will be on four countries that were led by populist leaders during the pandemic, and which capture different types of populist responses to the pandemic: Brazil, Poland, Serbia, and the U.S.

The project will also inform recommendations aimed at building more resilient media organisations that are better equipped to withstand the challenges of future pandemics in divided societies. The recommendations will be developed and disseminated in collaboration with key organisations representing media regulators, communication professionals, and public service media.

The successful candidate will work under the joint supervision of Professor Sabina Mihelj and Dr Vaclav Stetka and will be responsible for data collection and analysis for Serbia (including interview analysis, policy analysis, public opinion survey, and media content analysis), as well as for conducting the comparative analysis of public attitudes in four countries, and for supporting the delivery of impact activities. The post holder will also collaborate with international team members based in Brazil, U.S., and Poland, as well as with non-academic stakeholders from media industries.

If you are an organised, motivated, and proactive individual, with relevant skills and qualifications, this is a great opportunity to join the project and contribute to its success.

The post will be based in the Communication and Media Division, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, and affiliated with the Centre for Research in Communication and Culture.
