[Commlist] Job vacancy: Two year research fellowship - Journalism and Democracy Project - City St George's, University of London

*Post-doctoral Research Fellow - Journalism and Democracy*

This is an exciting opportunity for a researcher to play a central role 
in an international research project on journalism and democracy. The 
project is funded by an ESRC / Trans-Atlantic Partnership Grant, and it 
has research teams based in the UK, Brazil, Canada, and South Africa.

The successful candidate will be on “Team UK” working with Mel Bunce 
(City) and Richard Fletcher (RISJ, Oxford).  The project explores how 
independent journalism is defined and understood by citizens, 
journalists, policy makers and academics; how independent journalism is 
practiced; and the forms of solidarity and support that may protect its 
independence.

  * We’re looking for great skills in data collection, analysis, and
    writing – and the ability to work independently to really push
    forward this project.

  * The job includes a lot of career development opportunities,
    including leading on publications and presenting at international
    conferences plus working with a team of supportive international
    scholars.

  * We can sponsor an international candidate (although they will need
    to demonstrate good understanding of UK journalism). They need to
    have finished their PhD - or at minimum submitted their thesis - by
    July 1^st .
