The Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) has recently launched the Mark Helmke Postdoctoral Scholarship on Global Media, Development, and Democracy. In partnership with Indiana University’s School for Global and International Studies (SGIS), the initiative seeks to contribute to the understanding of how media and/or media ownership influences political outcomes. The position offers a postdoctoral scholar from any of a wide range of relevant fields to deepen his or her work and to produce much needed original research and data in this area.

The Scholarship is named after the late Mark Helmke, a former adviser to Senator Richard Lugar who helped to develop the concept of CIMA and pass the legislation that created the Center.

The deadline to apply is March 31 – apply now!
