Professor in Media Technology

Ref AP-2018/123

Södertörn University is investing in the field of media and is 
advertising three professorships: in journalism; media technology; and 
media and communication studies. In a time of rapid technological 
change, the role of media in society is changing both its form and its 
content. Media research in the borderlands between technology, society 
and culture is becoming increasingly important for our critical 
understanding of the information society. The three professors will lead 
and develop multidisciplinary research into this new media landscape, 
with special responsibility for research related to the Baltic Sea 
region and Eastern Europe. This is done in each subject, through 
cooperation with the surrounding community and in various 
multidisciplinary contexts.

Media Technology is an interdisciplinary technological subject at the 
School of Natural Sciences, Technology and Environmental Studies. The 
subject has been offered at Södertörn University since 2001, and has a 
broad focus on the design, construction and analysis of digital media. 
Media Technology is the second-largest subject at the university and is 
a dynamic and creative environment for research and education. Research 
in the subject is multidisciplinary, where the exploration of technology 
and design is combined with perspectives from the social sciences and 
humanities. Media technology offers two degree programmes, as well as 
freestanding courses at Bachelor’s level and a two-year international 
Master’s degree.

Job description
The new professor in Media Technology will further develop research in 
the subject, with a particular focus on the Baltic Sea region and 
Eastern Europe. The professor will contribute to a strong and 
multidisciplinary research environment at Södertörn University by 
cooperating with other subjects at the university. Tasks include 
research, research leadership, administration and teaching. The position 
includes 60 per cent of full-time that is allocated to research and 
subject development, including tasks such as organising and leading 
higher seminars and applying for external research funding in 
cooperation with other researchers. The professor is expected to work 
actively for cooperation across subject boundaries and with the 
surrounding community. The position requires a high degree of presence 
and participation in collegial work.

Qualifications
To qualify for employment as a professor, the applicant must have 
demonstrated educational and scholarly expertise in the subject of Media 
Technology or the equivalent. Completed training in teaching and 
learning in higher education, or the equivalent, is advantageous. For 
this position, the applicant must be able to teach in English. Please 
refer to item 2.1.1 in Södertörn University’s Appointments Procedure, 
available at 
https://www.sh.se/english/sodertorn-university/meet-sodertorn-university/this-is-sodertorn-university/vacant-positions.

Grounds for assessment
Educational and scholarly expertise relevant to the position and the 
required qualifications is demonstrated through autonomous research that 
considerably exceeds that necessary for employment as an associate 
professor, both qualitatively and quantitatively. (See Södertörn 
University’s guidelines for associate professorships at 
https://www.sh.se/english/sodertorn-university/meet-sodertorn-university/this-is-sodertorn-university/vacant-positions). 
The applicant must have demonstrated good ability in building, leading 
and developing high quality research and must have experience of 
supervising doctoral students. The applicant must also have demonstrated 
good skills in communicating knowledge of research results. Other 
contributions to scholarly work other than their own research are also 
of merit, e.g. commissions as faculty examiner or external expert.

Educational expertise is assessed on the basis of the ability to 
develop, lead and conduct high quality education at different levels, 
educational development work and participation in linking research to 
education at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. Educational expertise 
also includes a commitment to education and a well-developed educational 
approach that is presented in writing, as well as formal training in 
teaching and learning in higher education or the equivalent competence. 
The applicant must also have the personal skills necessary to meet the 
demands of the position and to be able to represent the university in a 
way that benefits its activities.

In addition to the above grounds for assessment, the following secondary 
grounds for assessment have been established (in order of importance): 
All grounds for assessment must be documented:

    Scholarly expertise in research relating to the design of 
interactive media with a user perspective
    Expertise in leading and developing research and research 
environments, including the ability to apply for and receive research 
funding
    Experience of applying local, regional or global perspectives in 
research, preferably including the countries included in the Baltic Sea 
region or Eastern Europe
    Good international contact network in relevant scholarly fields
    Experience of collaboration with the surrounding community

Employment
The position is full-time and until further notice. First date of 
employment as agreed.

As the majority of professors within the ÖSS programme (professorships 
partially funded by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies) 
are men, we welcome applications from women.

Application
The deadline for applications is 25th of August 2019.
