culture/humanities*

The Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of 
Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, invites applications for a postdoctoral 
position in digital media/communication and/or digital 
culture/humanities as part of a H2020-project on the societal values of 
culture to be filled by October 15, 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position is for up to 21 months on 80%, (30 h/week).

Job content
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc who will conduct research 
and take on coordination, organisational and communicative tasks (80%) 
in the context of an international research project funded by the 
European Commission.

The research, organizational and communicative tasks will be part of the 
H2020-project, INVENT: European inventory of societal values of culture 
as a basis for inclusive cultural policies in the globalizing 
world (2020-2023). The INVENT consortium conducts large-scale empirical 
research in nine European countries on how conceptions and values of 
culture are constructed across different socio-economic groups. Special 
attention is paid to European citizens’ perceptions and evaluations of 
how trends such as globalization, digitalization and increasing social 
inequalities have impacted culture. The project is based on a 
mixed-method research design (incl. surveys, a smart phone study with 
experimental stimuli, data scraping of online content, focus groups, 
case studies, and individual interviews).

INVENT is coordinated by PI Professor Susanne Janssen (Rotterdam) and a 
board consisting of Predrag Cveticanin (Serbia), Professor Tally 
Katz-Gerro (Haifa), Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen), 
Professor Frederich Lebaron (Paris), Professor Semi Purhonen (Tampere), 
Professor Jordi López Sintas (Barcelona), Professor Inga 
Tomic-Koludrovic (Croatia), Associate Professor Marc Verboord 
(Rotterdam), Professor Jörg Rössel (Zurich). For more information about 
the project and team: https://inventculture.eu <https://inventculture.eu>.

The postdoc will be affiliated with the entire project but especially 
one of its work packages (WP5), focusing on digitalization, led by 
Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen).
