Ph.D. Scholarship
Digital discussions and political participation
Short description
This research project aims to distinguish which features of public
discussions conducted with the aid of Internet-based communication
facilities contribute to an increased political awareness and action on the
part of participants in the discussions. The project also aims to assess
whether and how different forms of communicative exchange, initiated from
'above' and from 'below', create different types, qualities and effects of
political participation.
Requirements
* MA in communication studies or other relevant study;
* knowledge of and preferably experience with Internet-based discussions;
* knowledge of and preferably experience with research into political
communication processes;
* knowledge of quantitative and qualitative methods on content analysis and
user research;
* fluency in Dutch or ability to gain working competence in the language in
a short period of time.

The candidate selected to participate in this research project will be
expected to complete a Ph.D. dissertation within four years. During that
period the selected candidate will receive a stipend of minimally 3700 NLG
