PhD Position on Political Corruption and Media

**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Maatschappij
- & Gedragswetenschappen**Opleidingsniveau**:Master**Functie type**:Promotieplaats**Sluitingsdatum**:31 October 2024**Vacaturenummer**:13515- Are you exceptionally interested in science, and specifically in the field of Political Corruption and Media? Is it your ambition to become a top-tier researcher?- **What are you going to do**
- The PhD project is based on the premise that democracy today is being put to the test. Confidence in democracy is at a low point, and illiberal democracies are on the rise in many countries, including the EU that, according to some, may be facing its own wave of autocratization. One of the reasons for the increasing dissatisfaction or lack of trust in democratic institutions is the presence of (whether real or perceived) political corruption. Still, we do not know enough about the role of political corruption in democratic erosion processes or how to “rescue” democracies from its effects.- The PhD project investigates how corruption is socially constructed. More concretely, we focus on the three main objectives: (1) Detecting complex discursive networks of actors shaping the social construction of corruption in the public sphere (both in traditional and social media); (2) Testing how exposure to media reporting and social media content about corruption adjacent concepts (e.g., bribing, embezzlement, lobbying) affect citizens’ problem awareness, distribution of responsibility, political participation and support for anti-corruption policies; (3) Expanding scientific understanding of the role investigative journalism and (evolving) journalistic practices play in strengthening accountability by revealing transnational corruption and illicit financial flows.- The project team consists of Prof. Dr. Marieke de Goede (Political Science, Promoter), Dr. Anne Kroon (Communication Science, co-promotor and daily supervisor), Dr. Sofia Wickberg (Political Science, co-promotor and daily supervisor), Dr. Christopher Starke (Communication Science, co-promoter and daily supervisor).**What do you have to offer**
- You are:
- eager to contribute to the scientific field;
- motivated to share your knowledge with academic and non-academic audiences, as well as students;
- strongly committed to methodological rigor and scientific integrity;
- curious and eager to learn new skills, theoretical perspectives, and practical issues;
- motivated to contribute to the Program Group of Political Communication and Journalism and the Amsterdam School of Communication Research.

**_Your experience and profile_**
- You have:
- a (Research) Master’s degree in Communication Science, Political Science, or a related field or have almost completed the program;
- a general understanding of political communication theories or are willing to learn them;
- a firm basis in and, ideally experience with research methods and data analysis, in particular: survey experimentation, content analysis, and qualitative interviewing (experience with MAXQDA, or R is desired);
- an excellent written and spoken command of English (Dutch language proficiency is desired);
- excellent social and organizational skills.

**What can we offer you**
- The planned starting date for this project is January 1st, 2025, but there is some flexibility about the starting date. The position concerns temporary employment of 38 hours for a maximum term of four years. The initial employment is for one year. Following a positive assessment and barring altered circumstances, this term will be extended by a maximum of 36 months, which should result in the conferral of a doctorate. We will put together a curriculum that will also include the opportunity to attend training courses and both national and international events. You will also be tasked with teaching (Bachelor’s) students for approximately 10% of the contract.- Your salary will be € 2872 gross per month in the first year and will increase to € 3670 in the final year, based on full-time employment and in keeping with the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities. We additionally offer an extensive package of secondary benefits, including 8% holiday allowance and a year-end bonus of 8.3%.- The UvA offers excellent possibilities for further professional development and education.**_What else do we offer_**
