Following the ** US election, disinformation has been documented in numerous subsequent processes, including the ** Brazilian elections (Santos, **) and the ** US elections (Benaissa, **; **). More broadly, its presence has been identified in a wide range of cases, such as the ** Cape Verdean presidential elections (Novais, **), the ** independence referendum (Alandete, **), the April ** Spanish general elections (Magallón?Rosa, **), and the Portuguese parliamentary elections held that same year (Baptista & Gradim, **).The USP?CEU node of Iberifier has been studying the impact of disinformation in the Iberian region over the last years, with a special emphasis on fact?checking and media literacy to counter its harming effects. The proposed research project would continue these lines of enquiry and add insights on the new challenges that have been shaping more recent realities, such as the increasingly blurred boundaries in the perception of real vs fabricated content brought along by the development of AI tools, or the need for specific AI literacy actions to empower citizens in digital environments.Candidate requirements:PhD in Communication or Information Science and EngineeringStrong background on the study of political systems and the mass mediaPreferred acquaintance with research on media influence and information disorders.Keywords:Media and Information Literacy, AI Literacy, Disinformation, Polarisation, Democracy#J-**-Ljbffr
