The Department of Communication and Arts (DCA), Roskilde University, 
invites applications for a position as Professor of Digitisation of 
Communication from 1 September 2018, or as soon as possible thereafter.



In announcing a Professorship in Digitisation of Communication, DCA 
wishes to strengthen our research and teaching in processes of 
digitalisation of communication as it pertains to a range of contexts, 
e.g. civic society, organisations, public relations, collaboration and 
knowledge-production, or communication ethics. Candidates must have made 
an original contribution in specific areas including (but not limited 
to) computer-mediated communication, machine learning and A.I., social 
and mobile media, digital humanities, and/or critical studies of digital 
technology.



DCA is an innovative and interdisciplinary university environment, 
characterised by diversity with respect to theory, method and area of 
study in research and education. The department produces knowledge that 
contributes to critical research and reflexive practice in relation to 
development and change in society, including public institutions, 
private organizations, NGOs, and cultural and media institutions. In the 
Communication Studies section of DCA, research and teaching cover a 
plurality of theoretical traditions (for example, sociocultural, 
critical, rhetorical, phenomenological and pragmatic traditions) and 
empirical areas of study (for example, dialogic and participatory, 
digital, intercultural, organisational, political, mass mediated, 
science, strategic and visual communication). Read more here.

The Professor’s main tasks are to undertake research and research-based 
teaching with particular emphasis on the digitisation of communication.

at BA and MA levels as well as PhD students. This also implies 
developing the field in relation to teaching. As professor, you will be 
required to participate in post-doctoral training and be responsible for 
the supervision of Assistant Professors as well as take part in academic 
assessments.  The position also requires sharing knowledge with the rest 
of society, including participation in public debate.



The professor will be expected to play a leading role in one of the 
research groups at DCA, collaborate with colleagues, and participate in 
the daily activities of the department as an active and engaged 
colleague. You will also be expected to contribute substantially to the 
development of the field of Communication Studies and to build 
international research networks.
