[Commlist] ‘Dark Political Communication’ PhD scholarship

**

*‘Dark Political Communication’ PhD scholarship*

We are currently calling for applicants for a PhD scholarship to study 
‘Dark Political Communication’ in the School of Communication and 
Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC) at the Queensland University of 
Technology, Australia.

This PhD scholarship will be directly affiliated with the Australian 
Research Council Discovery Project “Understanding and Combatting ‘Dark 
Political Communication’”. The project, led by QUT researchers, and 
including a team based at Deakin University in Melbourne, aims to better 
understand the rapidly-evolving, and increasingly sophisticated, tactics 
deployed by political actors to manipulate public attention and opinion.

This PhD project will focus on the phenomenon of ‘Dark Political 
Communication’ in a global context, paying particular attention to how 
it is affecting democratic processes in one or more countries beyond 
Australia, and especially those with differing parliamentary, party or 
media systems.

In addition to your own PhD research, you will also have the opportunity 
to work with the larger project team to help achieve its goals and 
engage more broadly with the QUT School of Communication and Digital 
Media Research Centre. The successful candidate will be supervised by 
Associate Professor Stephen Harrington, who is the project’s lead Chief 
Investigator.

The closing date for applications is 21 June 2024.
