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 are developing a comparative study 
of health crisis communication in the context of populist politics, 
designed to bring significant advances in knowledge at the intersection 
of political communication and public health. The focus is 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 supervision of Professor 
Sabina Mihelj and will be responsible for data collection and analysis 
in Serbia 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 at Loughborough University in the Communication 
and Media Division, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, and 
affiliated with the Centre for Research in Communication and Culture.
