[Commlist] Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Citizens, media and democracy (3 years, ERC-funded)

We are inviting applications for a 3-year full-time Postdoctoral 
Research Fellowship in citizens, media and democracy at the University 
of Bergen, Norway. The fellow will work as a part of our team for the 
project “Distributed and prepared. A new theory of citizens’ public 
connection networks in the age of datafication” (PREPARE), funded by The 
European Research Council (2023-2027) and led by professor Hallvard Moe.

PREPARE analyzes citizens’ potential for political engagement. With a 
standing in media and communication studies, but drawing on political 
theory, anthropology and sociology, the project will stake out a new 
path for research on citizens’ role in democracies. We are looking for 
an ambitious scholar who wants to help develop a new agenda for 
researching citizens’ relations to the public sphere in Norway. We are 
concentrating on hard-to-reach social groups to understand how they 
connect to the public and engage with politics in a broad sense. Groups 
being studied in the project so far includes immigrants and elderly 
people in rural communities. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to 
suggest one or more relevant social groups in their project proposal.

Relevant topics include digital media in everyday life, political 
engagement and theories that address the roles of citizens in democracy.
