(including creative labor) at both organizational and institutional levels,
especially in Southeast Asia and East Asia, using interviews, secondary
data analysis, and online and offline field research.

Postdoctoral Fellow C will work with Professor Jack Qiu and Professor
Joseph Chan in conducting comparative analysis of Internet-facilitated
media events in different Chinese societies and across time, using
qualitative methods, case studies, online ethnography and archival
research.

Job duties for the three Research Fellows include (a) research design, data
collection and analysis, writing up of grant proposals and publications,
and the dissemination of project findings; (b) management of research team
involving other colleagues and assistants; and (c) coordination of
workshops, seminars and conferences. Specific tasks will be specified by

Appointment will be made on contract basis for eighteen months commencing
