Dear List, I am looking to hire a casual lecturer who can co-teach a course in online research methods in the Master of Social Research (MSR) at the Australian National University in Canberra (DEMO8087 - Online Research Methods - http://studyat.anu.edu.au/courses/DEMO8087;details.html). The course is compulsory in the successful Social Science of the Internet specialisation of the MSR (http://adsri.anu.edu.au/graduate-study/ssi) and it also attracts students from other MSR specialisations and ANU programs. I expect we will have 15-20 students. The course is running in Second semester this year, which commences 23 July and runs for 13 weeks (with two weeks teaching break in middle). I am specifically looking for someone who can teach the following topics: - online interviews - online focus groups - online field research (e.g. virtual ethnography) If the person can also teach about online surveys, that would be great (but not essential). I envisage the teaching would be for a minimum of 4 weeks, but up to 6-7 weeks i.e. half of the course. The timing of the block of teaching is flexible i.e. could be first or second half of semester. I will continue to be course coordinator (and deal with student administration etc.), and I'll be teaching the other half of the course, which will be on social media network analysis. But otherwise, the casual lecturer will have quite a bit of flexibility regarding mode of teaching, assessment etc. The expected qualifications for the casual lecturer are PhD in related area and experience using qualitative online research methods. My preference is for someone who can teach in-person in Canberra, but for an exceptional candidate I'd be willing to investigate the possibility of teaching from off-site (e.g. via skype). -- Dr Robert Ackland Associate Professor, Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, The Australian National University Coordinator, Master of Social Research e-mail: robert.ackland@anu.edu.au homepage: https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/ackland-rj project: http://voson.anu.edu.au ph./fax: +61 2 6125 0312/+61 2 6125 2992 Information about the Master of Social Research (Social Science of the Internet specialisation): http://adsri.anu.edu.au/graduate-study/msr CRICOS No: 061772F --
