1 Postdoctoral Position On The Erc Funded Project

Postdoctoral position in political and social science with a focus on media studies
Specific task:
In the CITIZEN_IMPACT project, the postdoctoral researcher will be specifically in charge of the work package 3 (WP3) that addresses the 'discursive' impact of CAs on the societal debate on democratic transformation.
They are presented and perceived through particular discourses that shape reality in a certain way and that become performative for the wider functioning of the political system.
However, this does not mean that actors in the public sphere passively transmit the messages conveyed by public authorities. Many social and political actors can cast doubt on the transformative potential of such assemblies.The project takes this 'symbolic' dimension seriously and seeks to compare how CAs shape public discourses on democratic renewals across different political systems.
This WP will be performed through a comparative analysis of the discourses on CAs and their (absence of) effects relying upon two types of documents: (1) coverage in the 'quality' print press and 'tabloids'; and (2) coverage of the digital posts published on Twitter.
Through a content analysis, WP3 will analyse who made the reference to CAs and the main frames associated with the CAs.
Based on this coding, we will compare the main discourses attached to CAs and how they relate to particular political features and dynamics.
This WP will cover 12 European countries showing variation in terms of 'maturity' with CAs.Profile
They should also be ready to independently manage a small team of coders to conduct the content analysis.

The Research Institute Transitions is pleased to announce a vacancy for one postdoctoral researcher (f/m) in Social and Political Science.
The project CITIZEN IMPACT is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) starting grant and coordinated by Vincent Jacquet (F.R.S.FNRS and UNamur).
Synopsis of the CITIZEN_IMPACT project
To improve and even to save contemporary democracies under huge pressure and attack, a remedy has been attracting a large amount of attention: the strengthening of ordinary citizens' opportunities to deliberate on and directly participate in politics.
Convened through random selection, these assemblies are diversified groups of citizens that deliberate on a public problem and make policy recommendations.
Existing research provides detailed descriptions of the internal dynamics of CAs and shows that most citizens are able to deliberate on complex issues.
Nevertheless, they fail to identify and explain their more external impacts.
In the context of the growing appeal for such mechanisms, CITIZEN_IMPACT asks the fundamental question: are CAs mere window dressing or do they lead to transformations in the functioning of the political system? It radically changes the dominant perspective on CAs by taking stock of several decades of research on policy studies, governance and institutional dynamics.
direct impact on policies (work package 1), indirect impact on civil society (work package 2) and discursive impact on the public sphere (work package 3).
To address these three dimensions, the research design combines different methods to compare macro national trends and to disentangle complex processes.
Hence, CITIZEN_IMPACT provides a new horizon to tackle, both in the scientific community and the broader society, the role and contribution of such participatory and deliberative procedures in contemporary representative democracies.
