[Commlist] YECREA Call for Representatives

Early-Career Scholars: Call for YECREA Representatives

The YECREA network is calling for early-career media and communication 
researchers across Europe to apply for five vacant positions as YECREA 
representative. Please circulate to early-career scholars!

Deadline for application: 30 November 2019

The vacant positions are in the following Sections and Temporary Working 
Groups (TWGs):

(1) Visual Cultures

(2) Philosophy of Communication

(3) Film Studies

(4) Journalism and Communication Education

(5) Media, Cities and Space

WHAT IS A YECREA REPRESENTATIVE?

The young scholar (YECREA) representative in each section/TWG of ECREA 
assists the managing team (consisting of a chair and two vice-chairs) in 
organising panels, symposiums and/or conferences, promoting the specific 
research area. Furthermore, the YECREA representative works to inform 
early-career scholars about events in the field and take part in 
organising events, such as pre-conference workshops or meetings.

The ‘young’ in young scholar is not a measure of age, but of career 
progression. Thus, all scholars in non-tenure positions (e.g. PhD’s and 
postdocs) are welcome to apply. It should be noted that the position as 
YECREA representatives is not paid.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications should be no more than 500 words and contain the following 
information:

- A heading with your name and the specific position you are applying for

- Details on your current university, position and progression

- A brief description of your research

- A brief statement on your work’s connection to the specific section, 
TWG or network

- A brief statement on your aspirations for improving early-career research

The managing team of YECREA (Corinna Lauerer, Norbert Šinković and Johan 
Farkas) will evaluate applications. The final decision on candidates 
will be taken in collaboration with the managing teams of each section/TWG.

As part of the evaluation, motivation will be emphasised as well as 
ensuring geographical diversity and supporting new scholars in the field.
