[Commlist] PhD position -- Critical Approaches to Streaming Data -- Erasmus University Rotterdam

The Erasmus School of History, Culture, and Communication (ESHCC) at 
Erasmus University Rotterdam is excited to offer a challenging and 
innovative PhD position in critical approaches to streaming data.


In recent years, streaming video platforms like Netflix have begun 
releasing increasing amounts of audience data, albeit lacking the 
substantive transparency desired by academia and industry observers. 
However, these "data dumps" offer scholars new avenues to investigate 
global dynamics in streaming video production and consumption.

This project will investigate the increasing transparency of streaming 
video platforms like Netflix and its implications for global televisual 
content production and consumption. Through multi-methodological 
approaches in Media Industry Studies, it will analyse publicly available 
data such as Netflix's Top 10 lists and Engagement Reports.

This pioneering research will combine qualitative methods with 
statistical analysis and data visualization to uncover emerging patterns 
in streaming behaviour. By taking streaming platforms' audience data 
seriously, despite their corporate interests, this project aims to 
provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of media consumption.
