Sciences Po invites applications for a position of full Professor in 
media studies specialised in digital methods. The position will be 
connected with the cutting-edge Sciences Po médialab: 
http://www.medialab.sciences-po.fr/
PROFILE
We are seeking outstanding candidates with excellent academic records, 
peer-reviewed publications and a demonstrated ability to build 
international collaborations, network building and fund raising capacity.
The candidate will have a good grasp of the new digital techniques which 
are deeply modifying the handling of data for the social sciences.
The applicant should have a PhD in hand in a relevant field.
Ability to teach in French and English.
RESEARCH AND TEACHING
The successful applicant will have to participate in the development of 
the research done in the médialab in digital humanities and digital 
methods. The teaching commitment will be university wide but with a 
pronounced focus on the "controversy mapping" teaching procedure for 
which the school has received a long term development grant (FORCCAST). 
The candidate should contribute to the development of a doctoral program 
in media studies which should accommodate the needs of the two schools 
of journalism and communication which exist so far only at the master 
level as well as those of the SPEAP experimental program in arts and 
politics.
APPLICATION
Applicants should provide:
- A full CV with a list of publications.
- Internet access to 2 or 3 relevant publications.
- A statement of purpose of not more than 2 pages summarizing relevant 
skills and motivations.
Deadline for application: 15 October 2012
Applications will be examined by a selection committee which will 
shortlist a small number of candidates.
The shortlisted candidates will be asked to give two job talks, one on 
their own research, and one on the ways in which they envision their 
role as academic entrepreneur to develop the media studies program at 
Sciences Po in collaboration with the médialab and the rest of the 
institution.
Completed applications should be addressed to:
