Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in digital media studies, journalism studies, social semiotics, political communication, or visual communication? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities? 

You will join Generic Visuals in the News: The Role of Stock Photos and Simple Data Visualizations in Assembling Publics, a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, which explores how generic visuals assemble political publics. Do stock photographs and simple data visualizations - which are increasingly ubiquitous and understudied - bring groups of people together around shared interests and concerns? Do they activate citizens to care about particular issues and lead to specific forms of political engagement? Generic Visuals in the News will use mixed methods, combining ethnographic fieldwork, focus groups, interviews, and social semiotic analysis.  

Working with the Principal Investigator, Professor Christopher Anderson, and Co Investigators Professor Giorgia Aiello and Professor Helen Kennedy (University of Sheffield) in the final year of this project, you will focus on: 

  • Analysis and write up of audience research
  • Image database management, image analysis and write up

You will also provide research support to the project as needed, and you will also receive significant mentoring from a variety of individual and institutional sources.
