Hello everyone,

I am currently hiring a postdoc to work with me on my new project.

*Drones in Visual Culture: Developing a New Theory of Visual Mobile
Communication*, led by Dr Elisa Serafinelli (me) & funded by the AHRC, aims
to understand whether and how the use of drone technology in society is
changing the way people see the world and our visual culture more broadly,
and to extend and innovate current theoretical approaches to visual mobile
communication. More information can be found here:
https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FT012528%2F1 .

I am appointing a post-doctoral research associate for one year, 50% FTE. The
successful applicant will have, or be in the process of submitting, a PhD
in a relevant area. Knowledge of relevant theories in the fields of visual
communication, cultural studies and digital media, along with experience in
qualitative research and visual analysis would be advantageous. Experience
of conducting research under the national research ethics framework is
essential. Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, report
writing skills, and experience of delivering presentations are also
essential along with strong IT skills.
