We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate to join an innovative new project funded by the Leverhulme Trust entitled ‘Understanding Online Political Advertising: Perceptions, Uses and Regulations’. Working as part of an interdisciplinary team that spans Politics, Psychology and Computer Science, you will be generating new insights on how online political advertising is perceived by the public, how it is understood and described by practitioners, and how it actually appears online. This work will generate vital new insights on legitimate and trusted practices, and perceptions of effectiveness – findings that will be used to inform current policy making debates. Based at the University of Sheffield, you will conduct interviews, undertake literature reviews, design and analyse public opinion surveys.
