University of Sheffield

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.
