It is focused on youth engagement in protest, particularly online protest and flash activism.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for working with the PI to design and implement research studies related to overall project themes, including quantitative content coding of protest websites and analysis of this coding as well as interviews and focus groups with youth about online protest. Strong candidates will have research experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods, notable experience working in Stata or R, and be productive working in teams and independently. All candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand by the commencement of the fellowship and would preferably have received their Ph.D. within the past three years.
The School of Sociology at the University of Arizona is one of the best sociology programs in the country, consistently ranked among the top 20 Sociology programs in the United States for the past thirty years. It boasts a lively intellectual community and has played a pivotal role in the careers of many leading sociologists. Situated in the beautiful southwest in Tucson, the University of Arizona offers excellent benefits and Tucson offers a wonderful living experience. Competitive salary will be based on experience.

Will there be an honorary gopher as part of the menagerie?
Speaking of the old days.

Perhaps we could call the seat the "AIR Menagerie Representative-at-Large"[1] with a rotating two-year term, which cannot be filled by the same type of life form for two consecutive terms? That might be more inclusive while still allowing cats full opportunity?

Might I suggest a 'Birds of a Feather' session where folks can note their favourite internet cat memes? And, perhaps discuss briefly what makes it appealing to the internet audience (the lolz), and a view sentences from an academic standpoint (the analysis)- whatever your discipline. Perhaps something related to audience studies, or anthropomorphizing animals, or cultural meaning, or social significance, or a network look at going viral...the list is endless. Perhaps tie this into your nominations for a mascot? Just a thought... Tracy Grumpy cat fan.

Dear Madame Incoming and Esteemed:
In addition to our other important positions, I would like to propose AoIR hold elections for Internet Cat Mascot. In accordance with our by-laws, this would be an annual position, and the cats would answer the
questions
below like anyone else would.
Naturally, since cats cannot yet write, their statements would be drafted by those nominating. Whether or not anyone okays this, I will write a statement for Maru. Andrew Herman does not yet know it, but he will represent Lil Bub.
Friends in the gallery: Can we agree that this is a moment long overdue in the history of an organization that does NOTHING but STUDY THE INTERNET?
Please, let's get some Internet cats up on this ballot.
Respectfully, Terri
P.S. Anticipating questions about dogs: No.
