I am hiring the second PhD position for my European Research Council-funded project PAY4PLAY: Entrepreneurial Organizing in the Platform Society. The position is focused on VTubers - content creators who use virtual avatars - and I'm looking for someone who
 wants to study their cultural, technological, and industrial aspects. It's a 3-year, fully funded position at Aarhus University. The deadline to apply is November 1st. Please share with interested applicants, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any
 questions. </div>
