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

We are happy to offer *two* visiting research fellow positions for the

scholarship of 20.000 SEK contributing to travel and accommodation. The 
fellows can choose the length and timing of their stay during the 
academic year 2021-22 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).
