Hi all,
I am advertising two 3-year postdoctoral fellowships to work on the
ERC-funded LivePlatforms project in the School of Information and
Communication Studies at University College Dublin. This project seeks to
identify and critique the range of actors involved in shaping whether, if,
or how people make livelihoods in the Irish platform economy.

One position needs a specialist in researching online creators (e.g.
influencer, streamers, content creators):

The other needs a specialism in location-based platform work (e.g.
delivery-riders, careworkers, home help):

These posts are suitable for those just out of PhD. The application
deadline is March 20.

Thanks,
Kylie
