[Commlist] Job: DIAS Professor of Media Studies at the University of Southern Denmark

DIAS Professor of Media Studies at the University of Southern Denmark

The Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) and the Department of 
Design, Media and Educational Science at the Faculty of Humanities of 
the University of Southern Denmark invite applications for a full 
professorship in Media Studies at their campus in Odense. The 
application deadline is February 27, 2025. The candidate is expected to 
start in October 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. Please note 
that DIAS is an interdisciplinary elite research center, so the position 
is for scholars at the forefront of their fields, with outstanding 
publication and funding records. This is not a position for junior scholars.

We seek a candidate with broad knowledge of the field and expertise 
across theoretical traditions, methodological approaches, and diverse 
media practices, whose profile both complements existing work and 
reflects the ability to further develop media research at the department 
and engage in interdisciplinary activities at DIAS. We are particularly 
interested in candidates who combine scholarly excellence and 
originality with a proven interest in leading and contributing to 
collaborative work, public dissemination, and societal engagement.

Besides their affiliation to DIAS, the professor would be part of the 
Media Research group at the Department of Design, Media and Educational 
Science. The group adopts a forward-thinking approach, grounded in 
historical perspectives on media’s materiality and social practices, 
while focusing on how media permeates everyday life and shapes broader 
cultural, political, and economic dynamics on a global scale. Our 
current research engages with a diverse array of media forms and 
practices, including film, television, games, auditory media, social 
media, as well as emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, health 
communication, and the role of media in museums. We actively track the 
dynamic developments within these industries and their cultural fields, 
while also paying close attention to contemporary media usage across 
different demographic groups, such as children, older people, and 
marginalized communities. Furthermore, we are committed to addressing 
key societal issues such as digitalization and climate change and are 
pioneers in exploring the sustainability and "greening" of media industries.

As a fully tenured professor, the candidate is also employed to 
contribute significantly to the academic development in the department 
and of their field. Their main work tasks include research, teaching, 
and related organizational work. This also includes supporting the 
career development of younger scholars and the realization of the 
department’s strategic goals.

Candidates must therefore:

* Have an excellent academic profile and publication track record 
including substantial international publications.
* Present an ambitious and innovative research and publication plan 
including plans for acquiring external funding and team building.
* Demonstrate interest for engaging in cross- and inter-disciplinary 
research and dialogue in order to engage further in the framework of DIAS.
* Be able to teach and supervise core topics in media studies

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and 
thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of 
personal background. SDU was founded in 1966 and now has more than 
27,000 students, almost 20% of whom are from abroad. It has more than 
3,800 employees, and 115 different study programmes in the fields of the 
humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, and 
engineering. Its main campus is located in Odense, the third largest 
city in Denmark, but is present also in Kolding, Sønderborg, Esbjerg and 
Copenhagen.

For questions about DIAS, you may contact Professor Sten Rynning, 
Director of DIAS ((director-dias /at/ sdu.dk)). For questions about the Media 
Research group, please contact Professor Susana Tosca ((stosca /at/ sdu.dk)).
