*Call for Visiting Research Fellows 2025/26– Department for Media and 
Communication Studies, Södertörn University, Stockholm, Sweden*

Deadline 31 January 2025

The Department for Media and Communication Studies at Södertörn 
University offers a thriving and multidisciplinary research environment 
with a particular focus on contemporary datafied and media-saturated 
societies from a critical-cultural and often historical perspective. The 
research at the department shares a particular focus on the Baltic and 
East European region. The department is based at the School of Culture 
and Education and is a member of the Postgraduate School for Critical 
Cultural Theory.

Current research projects conducted by faculty members at the department 
include among others:

  * Anticipating and mediating future classrooms (PI: Michael Forsman)
  * A Sea of Data: Mediated temporalities of the Baltic Sea (PI: Lars
    Lundgren)
  * Media trust and social imaginaries (PI: Fredrik Stiernstedt)
  * Photographic Realism in the Age of Digital Media (PI: Patrik Åker)
  * Post-migrant voices in the Baltic Sea region (Sweden, Germany,
    Estonia) (PI: Jessica Gustafsson)
  * Social Media Surveillance and Experiences of Authoritarianism (PI:
    Göran Bolin)
  * The Digital Welfare State (PI: Anne Kaun)
  * Vernacular fiction and digital publication platforms: An ethnography
    of contemporary Indian book worlds (PI: Per Ståhlberg)
  * What is news? (PI: Sofia Johansson)

We are happy to offer several visiting research fellow positions for the 
academic year 2025/26. The fellows – holding a PhD – will each receive a 
one-time scholarship of *35.000 SEK* contributing to travel and 
accommodation. The fellows can choose the length and timing of their 
stay during the academic year 2025/26 but should stay at least one 
month. Fellows are expected to present their current work during one 
higher seminar at the department. Södertörn University has a number of 
guest research apartments close to campus and we are happy to put 
fellows in touch with the housing unit at the university. However, we 
are not able to assist further in finding housing in Stockholm.

In order to apply please submit a short CV (max 2 pages) and a 
description of project that they will be working with during their stay 
(max 1 page) through this application form
