Dr Tina McGuinness (Management) and I are looking for applications for an ESRC PhD studentship, entitled “social media and community resilience: a process based study of South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Services.” Funded by the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership Collaborative award, the successful applicant will work with SYFR to evaluate how sites such as Facebook and Twitter can be used to promote community disaster resilience and encourage citizens to fully participate in disaster risk management and reduction initiatives. Further details on the studentship can be found here and the closing date for applications is 8 May 2017.
