MEDEA, Malmö university, announces positions in new media
Text:
MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative is a center for new media research
and development at Malmö University, Sweden. MEDEA is built around
co-production with actors outside academia - companies, organizations,
artists, citizens, etc. A special focus is put on the
development of new creative practices and on new public spheres.
Currently, three full professors, four associate professors and six PhD
students are employed in the two initial research areas of MEDEA and
closely related activities. In two year's time, the plan is for MEDEA to
comprise at least four major research areas and employ around 30 staff
members and PhD students.
We are now looking to expand our faculty with at least one full
professor. We also announce the opening of two programs for visiting
colleagues of exceptional standing: An artist-in-residence program and
an entrepreneur-in-residence program.
--------
Professor of New Media with a particular focus on new media and
co-production.
The specific area of competence within new media is open (art, design,
public spheres, learning, economy, law, etc.) -- in a way, we are
looking forward to being surprised.
General criteria are scientific, collaborative and pedagogical
expertise.
