Corps scientifique

3 PhD positions in Digital Media Use, Gender Narratives, and Adolescents’ Development and Mental Health

Faculté de Lettres, Traduction et Communication
Prof. Chelly Maes, part of the Department of Information and Communication Sciences (ReSIC) at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), is hiring three fully funded PhD positions within project GENSCOPE (GEnder Narratives and adolescents' Socialization across COntexts, Platforms, and Engagements). This project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) through a prestigious ERC Starting Grant. GENSCOPE seeks to fundamentally transform our understanding of how media shape adolescents' gender beliefs, body image, sexuality, and mental health. GENSCOPE recognizes that adolescents simultaneously navigate diverse, and often conflicting, gender narratives across social media, television, and video games. The project will combine innovative quantitative (e.g., longitudinal research, daily diary research, and data donation with automated coding) and qualitative approaches (e.g., focus group interviews) to explore adolescents’ real-time interactions with gender narratives in their digital world. The project will be conducted simultaneously in Belgium, Italy, and Czechia, allowing the comparison of countries with different levels of gender equality indices.
Rather than working on isolated studies, the three PhD researchers will jointly collaborate on the GENSCOPE project. Each PhD candidate will develop an independent doctoral dissertation with its own research questions, publications, and expertise, while collaborating with the other PhD researchers, the postdoctoral researcher, and Prof. Maes. The three PhD projects will focus on complementary developmental outcomes in relation to their media use: 1) gender beliefs, attitudes, and related behaviors; 2) body image development; and 3) sexuality development. Additionally, mental health and psychological well-being will be jointly studied with the postdoctoral researcher. PhD candidates will be enrolled in ULB’s 4-year doctoral programme, in which they acquire many other important career skills.
