Are you passionate about the potential for digital media to transform politics and democracy and can you underpin that passion with a proven track record in digital democracy and high-quality research? The eDemocracy Programme is looking to appoint a Senior Researcher. The successful candidate will have a relevant research-based qualification and an established track-record of work in one or more of the programme's key discipline areas, most notably digital engagement and/or online political communication. You will have developed an intuitive grasp of emerging digital technologies and trends and be able to demonstrate experience in developing research proposals, research design, data collection methods (including interviews, focus groups and surveys) and data analysis (qualitative and quantitative). Alongside your ability to convey complex ideas and information succinctly to a range of audiences, in writing and in person, you will have developed relevant networks including senior people in the political, governmental, academic and non-governmental spheres. Based in London, the Hansard Society's eDemocracy Programme has led the way in understanding how digital media affect and transform the way democracy works. From the internet's impact on parliament, to better government engagement with citizens and the potential for civil society to harness digital media, our thought-leading research has been a formative part of an emergent digital Britain. Today, we undertake research and produce publications and commentaries that deliver value and push the boundaries of digital democracy. Our work is about democratic innovation. Focusing on online political communication and citizen engagement, our work explores the many faces of digital inclusion, citizen engagement, political campaigning and parliamentary process.
