Dear colleagues,

We are seeking a PhD student to add to our team of researchers working 
on the following UK ESRC funded project "Measuring information exposure 
in dynamic and dependent networks" 
(http://www.ncrm.ac.uk/research/ExpoNet/).

EXPONet will model online content exposure as a complex network 
incorporating both social and traditional media sources. Whether one is 
consuming the news online or producing/consuming information on social 
media, the fundamental dynamic of consuming political and other news 
involves formation of ties between users and media content by a variety 
of means (e.g. browsing, social sharing, search). Online media exposure 
is then a process of network formation that links sources and consumers 
of content via their interactions, requiring a network perspective for 
its proper understanding.

The fully funded studentship will undertake a project within the ExpoNet 
objectives but has substantial freedom within this remit to follow the 
student's own interests. The University of Exeter 
(http://www.exeter.ac.uk/) is a Russell Group research-intensive UK 
university which regularly features in top-10 UK and top-100 global 
research rankings.

Further details can be found here:

The deadline for applications is 30 April, 2016.

Please forward to any relevant parties or mailing lists. Informal 
enquiries can be directed to me at [log in to unmask] .

Regards,
Hywel
