New Directions in Media Research

Media pervades our world so it’s no surprise that careers in media research are in high demand. Yet for the PhD community, what may be less known is the vast range of economic sectors, job types and skills requirements that utilize media research as well as the caliber of highly trained academics that are recruited.

As we note in this week’s job cull, from large companies such as Facebook and Citi to well established research consultancies, government and emerging start-ups, enterprises are all aggressively hiring in the marketplace for applied research and communication skills.

Think behavioral science, publishing, editing and communication, data science, gaming and artificial intelligence–and other new areas of research yet to be uncovered.  We provide a few postings below and many more on our SmartJobs page.
