PHD SCHOLARSHIP ‘SMART VIDEO SURVEILLANCE IN SMART CITIES: DECONSTRUCTING SURVEILLANCE AND SECURITY DISCOURSES’.

FUNCTION

Currently, at the Department of Criminology and the Crime & Society Research Group (CRiS) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), we are looking for a full-time PhD researcher for the FWO project “Smart Camera Surveillance in Smart cities: Deconstructing surveillance and security discourses.

Project description

The main objective of the research project carried out in collaboration with the Law, Science, Technology & Society research group is to analyse the discourses that surround the implementation of ‘smart’ video surveillance technologies, and their affordances in ‘smart cities’. It intends to identify the main promises and drivers behind official discourses of smart city programmes in three Belgian cities: Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. Two hypotheses from the literature will be tested: 1) ‘Surveil- lance theatre’: that the concept of smart cities and the implementation of surveillance programmes have a ‘performative’ role; 2) Surveillance capitalism: that the main driver behind the implementation of the surveillance programmes is not security of citizens or reducing crime but is economic. The hypotheses will be tested for the three cities through critical discourse analysis of policy documents, social media and interviews with the different stakeholders and confronting the found discourses with relevant literature.

Job description

During the 4-year appointment:

• The candidate will carry out research within the framework of the above-mentioned FWO project with a view to obtaining a doctoral degree.

• The theme of the thesis will be related to the topics covered in the project work packages and will be defined in consultation with the supervisors.

• The candidate has a Master’s degree in Criminological Sciences, Sociology, Communication Sciences, Social Geography, Political Sciences, Urban Studies, …

The candidate is interested in interdisciplinary research in surveillance, police and security studies, and smart cities.

• The candidate may start work at short notice and no later than 1 April 2021.

Desired

Active knowledge of French
Experience with social media analysis
Experience with discourse analysis
Experience with qualitative methodology software such as NVIVOOFFER
