Functieomschrijving

The Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Communication, The Visual and Digital Cultures Research Center is looking for a part-time (50 %) project coordinator within the ERC-funded project WALLS2BRIDGES -Media Production of Prison Communities.

The ERC project WALLS2BRIDGES investigates how prison communities produce media and how these practices reshape understanding of justice across France, Türkiye, the UK, and the US. Against the backdrop of expanding incarceration regimes and enduring racial and social inequalities, WALLS2BRIDGES examines how incarcerated people, their families, and anti-prison activists engage in media production (from letters and newspapers to podcasts, films, and digital platforms) to contest dominant narratives and reimagine justice.

The project conceptualizes prison communities as active media producers, foregrounding the interplay between media practices, systems of surveillance, sensory experience, and struggles for justice.

Using a transnational and interdisciplinary approach, the project combines:

Archival research on prison-produced media since the mid-1960’s century;
Qualitative interviews and collaborative research with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals, families, and activists;
Analysis of diverse media forms, including print, audiovisual, and digital content.

Your role

The position includes the following tasks:

Project development and coordination (media & prison studies domain)
You are responsible for developing, preparing, and coordinating project activities across one or more research strands. This includes:

Analysing research contexts (e.g. prison media ecosystems, access conditions, NGO landscapes)

Monitoring progress against objectives, milestones, and deliverables
Coordinating activities across international research sites (Türkiye, France, the UK, the US)

Research and stakeholder coordination

Mapping and liaising with NGOs, universities, activists, and media practitioners working in prison contexts
Supporting fieldwork logistics and access processes where applicable
Facilitating communication within the research team and with external partners

Digital dissemination (website & podcast)

Supporting the development and maintenance of the project website
Assisting in the conceptualisation and production of project-related podcasts and other public-facing outputs
Coordinating content contributions from team members and external collaborators
Ensuring coherence between research outputs and public communication strategies

Ethics and compliance support

Supporting the development and implementation of ethical protocols, particularly in relation to research with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals
Assisting with ethics applications, consent procedures, and data management plans
Monitoring compliance with institutional and ERC ethical guidelines
Identifying and addressing ethical and operational risks in collaboration with the PI and team

Policy support and institutional interface

Coordinating reporting processes (ERC deliverables, internal and external reports)
Organising inputs from team members and ensuring alignment across work packages
Supporting administrative and strategic planning tasks related to the project

Research support and analysis

Assisting in qualitative research processes and comparative analysis
Monitoring research workflows for efficiency and coherence
Supporting the synthesis of findings for publications and reports

Profiel

Experience with digital communication (websites, podcasts, or similar platforms);
