We are looking for a Research Associate for the Leverhulme Research 
Project “Media Representations of Disability”, which investigates how UK 
mainstream media can influence audience attitudes and help reduce stigma 
towards disability. Bringing together media studies, disability studies 
and psychology, the project combines qualitative and quantitative 
audience research to bridge theoretical insight and real-world social 
impact. Led by Dr Catalin Brylla, with Prof Dan Jackson (Bournemouth 
University), Prof Geoff Haddock (Cardiff University) and Dr Miguel Ramos 
(Birmingham University), and collaborating with the BFI, BBC, Channel 4, 
ITV, Sky and The TV Access Project, it offers a rich interdisciplinary 
and industry-linked environment. The Research Associate will be based at 
(in-person or remotely) BU’s Faculty of Media, Science and Technology 
and hosted by the Centre for the Study of Conflict, Emotion and Social 
Justice. They will help design and conduct qualitative and quantitative 
audience studies, analyse media texts, uphold rigorous ethical standards 
and co-author academic and public-facing outputs within a flexible, 
hybrid-working framework.

NOTE: Even thought the position is optionally remote, the applicant must 
be based in the UK for the project’s duration.

Closing date 28 November 2025

Please email (cbrylla /at/ bournemouth.ac.uk) for any informal inquiries about 
the role.
