Associate professor
The Department of Information Science and Media Studies has a vacant
permanent position as Associate Professor in Journalism, oriented
towards Information Technology. The position is a part of the
Department’s commitment to Media City Bergen (MCB).
The Department of Information Science and Media Studies is an
interdisciplinary, research-intensive academic environment consisting of
research groups and study programmes within Media and Communication,
Information Science, Interaction Design, TV Production and Journalism.
The Department currently has 35 permanent academic positions and 25 PhD
Candidates and Postdoctoral Fellows. There are approximately 1000
students enrolled in the Department’s BA and MA programmes.
MCB is an internationally leading knowledge cluster in the fields of
Media Production and Media Technology. The Department is co-located with
news media companies such as TV 2, NRK, Bergens Tidende and
Bergensavisen, along with a wide range of leading media technology
companies. Media City Bergen offers an international environment for
innovation and knowledge development within media which excels on
interaction between research, education and industry. The Department
offers six study programmes within Media Production and Media Technology
at MCB and leads several research and innovation projects. The
Department manages modern facilities for TV and Media Production,
including studios, mobile equipment and labs for post-production and
sound. The Department hosts Centre for Investigative Journalism (SUJO).
Through the position in question, the Department seeks to strengthen
competences within Journalism and Information Technology, often referred
to as Computational Journalism within the discipline. Computational
Journalism involves development and usage of Information Technology in
collection, analysis, storytelling and dissemination of large amounts of
data for journalistic purposes, besides analysis of such technologies in
a journalistic context.
Work tasks/research and teaching areas:
The candidate will strengthen the Department’s research within the area
of Journalism and Information Technology, predominantly undertake
teaching duties at the BA programme in Journalism and MA programme in
Investigative Journalism and facilitate cooperation with other study

extensively cooperates with news media, and the candidate is expected to
contribute to further develop this cooperation.

as basic skills in planning, implementation, evaluation and development
of teaching and supervision. Relevant courses in combination with actual
