https://www.uu.se/en/about-uu/join-us/details/?positionId=291831
Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with
a strong international standing. Our mission is to pursue top-quality
research and education and to interact constructively with society. Our
most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and
dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting
workplaces. Uppsala University has 44.000 students, 7.100 employees and
a turnover of SEK 7 billion.
The Department of Informatics and Media is part of the Social Science
faculty at Uppsala University. Researchers at the department contribute
to the development of knowledge about current and future forms of
communication and information in the disciplines Media- and
Communication Studies (including Journalism), Human-Computer Interaction
and Information Systems. Education in media and communication is offered
within three tracks: media studies, communication studies and journalism
studies. Research in Media and Communication is carried out within all
three tracks and focus on social and cultural change connected to
communication, media and digitalization.
Principal duties: General responsibility for research and education at
the Ph.D. level within the discipline Media and Communication Studies
and responsibility for further development within the discipline.
Teaching and supervision on all three cycles of studies offered within
the discipline. Active participation in disciplinary teacher meetings -
“kollegium”. Work with research grant applications and own research. It
is the ambition of the faculty that around half of the working hours
should consist of own research. Beyond this, there is an option for a
salaried sabbatical after a couple of years of employment. The role as
responsible for the discipline Media and Communication entails
coordination and development of research within all three tracks of the
discipline, this covers participation, planning and management of
research projects (including application for research funding) and
external cooperation in both research and education matters. Further,
cooperation within the Department of Informatics and Media with
researchers/teachers in Human-Computer Interaction and Information
Systems is required. Administrative assignments, including management
positions on the departmental or other levels within Uppsala University,
can be part of the duty as professor.
Qualifications required: The eligibility criteria for employment as a
professor are research as well as teaching experience (Higher Education
Ordinance Ch 4 Sec 3). Research expertise should be demonstrated through
independent research and through research activities of high
international and national quality. The applicant should have
demonstrated skills in planning, initiating and managing research
projects, including the ability to secure competitive research grants,
and well-documented aptitude in the supervision of Ph.D. students.
Teaching skills should be demonstrated through merits in teaching and
instruction. In addition, applicants should be able to demonstrate a
well-documented ability in supervision at undergraduate, graduate and
Ph.D. levels, as well as meet the criteria stated in the Uppsala
University's appointment regulations (section 33) and the Faculty of
Social Sciences’ complementary guidelines (section 2b).
It is required that the pedagogical skills, the scientific competence
and the professional skills are relevant for the subject content of the
post and the duties that are included in the employment.
According to Uppsala University’s appointment regulations, it is also a
general eligibility requirement that teachers possess the personal
qualities necessary to capably perform the duties of the post.
Applicants must have the ability to teach in Swedish and English.
The applicant is expected to have shown scientific excellence in any of
the areas of media studies, communication studies or journalism studies.
It is a merit if the applicant also has conducted qualified research in
one or two other fields.
Assessment, research and teaching skills: Assessment for the appointment
of professors at Uppsala University shall be based on the degree of
skills required for the appointment.
In the appointment of this professorship, ranking will be based
primarily on research and teaching expertise, with special emphasis on
research expertise. A combined consideration of all bases of assessment,
however, could result in an applicant deemed to be vastly superior in
teaching expertise being ranked higher than a candidate with superior
research expertise.
When the research expertise of an applicant is assessed, the quality
achieved is of prime importance. The scope of the applicant’s research,
in terms of both breadth and depth, is also essential to consider. The
applicant’s contribution to the international and national scientific
communities will be assessed based on quality and scope of research
publications in the most relevant publication channels for the field. In
the assessment of the requirement for international qualifications, the
nature and specific conditions of the subject area will be taken into
account.
Research expertise should be demonstrated through independent research
that significantly exceeds the requirements of associate professor
(docent) in terms of both quality and quantity.
Unless special circumstances exist, the applicant should have served as
the primary supervisor for at least one Ph.D. student and supervised
this student through completion and defense of their doctoral thesis.
In assessing teaching expertise, teaching quality will be the prime
consideration. The scope of teaching experience, in terms of both
breadth and depth, will also be afforded consideration. Furthermore,
consideration will be given to the capacity to plan, initiate, lead, and
develop teaching and instruction, as well as the ability to connect
research to teaching in respect to research in the subject at hand,
subject didactics, and teaching and learning in higher education.
Assessment criteria, additional skills: Candidates must also possess the
necessary administrative and other skills significant to the subject
content and duties of the position. The ability to cooperate, to develop
and supervise activities and staff, and to contribute to synergies both
within and outside the department will also be considered. Attention
will also be given to the applicant’s ability to interact with the
surrounding community and inform the public about research and
development work.
Experience in managerial roles, demonstrated by supervision of a
departmental environment or similar, will be considered meriting.
When Uppsala University appoints new teachers, the applicants selected
are those who, following a qualitative total assessment of expertise and
merits, are judged to have the best potential to carry out and develop
the relevant duties and contribute to a positive development of the
department.
Merits must be documented in a manner that makes it possible to assess
both quality and scope.
The Recruitment Committee may in this recruitment come to use
interviews, trial-lectures and referrals. The applicant should therefore
submit a list of referees with insight into the applicant’s professional
skill as well as personal qualities that may be of relevance for the
position, e.g. ability to cooperate, ability to lead and working methods.
Personal circumstances (such as full or part-time parental leave, trade
union appointments, military service, or other) that may benefit the
applicants in the assessment of qualifications should be included in the
list of qualifications and experience (Curriculum Vitae).
Uppsala University strives to be an inclusive workplace that promotes
equal opportunities and attracts qualified candidates who can contribute
to the University’s excellence and diversity. We welcome applications
from all sections of the community and from people of all backgrounds.
Currently, there are more employees of male gender than female gender

strives for a more even distribution of the legal genders in this category.
