[bestbits] Research Chair in Media, Datafication and Governance - York University

[Stéphane Couture]

Hi,

This might be of interest for some of you or your colleagues in the
academia. We are looking for applications from scholars outside of Canada,
for a Research Chair in "Media, Datafication and Governance". The delays
are very short due the the restrictions of the funding program, but it is
worth the effort. We are particularly interested in candidates with diverse
backgrounds and especially encourage candidates in equity, diversity and
inclusion categories. I personally think it would be great to have
applications from people outside Europe and North America.

Best,

Stéphane Couture
