Assistant Professorship in
Journalism at the Centre for Journalism

The Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of 
Southern Denmark, Odense invites applications for one or more four-year 
assistant professorships in journalism as of May 1, 2019 or soon thereafter.

Successful candidate(s) must be able and willing to support the 
department in realizing its two overarching strategic objectives: First, 
we strive to produce original ideas through high-quality and pioneering 
research. Second, we want to address major societal challenges and to 
exchange knowledge with society through high-quality study programmes 
and genuine engagement with societal actors and the wider public. The 
department values a diversity of competences and academic profiles, and, 
thus, applicants must present a clear academic profile. By academic 
profile we understand the combined quality of research, teaching and 
societal engagement. For more information about the department and its 
strategy, please visit the website.

The successful applicant(s) will be affiliated with Centre for 
Journalism. Specifically, the new assistant professor(s) will be 
associated with the new Media Research and Innovation Centre which was 
launched on January 1, 2019. The aim of the centre is to improve 
journalism in multiple ways by producing new knowledge about journalism 
in the 21th century, by reviewing and condensing existing knowledge and 
– not the least – by working closely together with the journalism 
industry. Thus, our ideal candidate will not only be a talented and 
internationally oriented researcher but also someone who engages in 
development projects (of, for example, formats, business cases, 
technologies) and knowledge exchange activities (e.g. acting as an 
expert on committees or offering courses to professional journalists 
and/or editors). Applicants are strongly encouraged to familiarize 
themselves with aims, goals and activities of the Media Research and 
Innovation Centre.

The successful applicant(s) will be tasked with a range of obligations 
at the department, including:

    Strengthen the relationship between the university and the media 
industry as part of the Media Research and Innovation Centre.
    Conduct and publish research at a high international level in areas 
of relevance to the Media Research and Innovation Centre, e.g. digital 
journalism, citizen journalism, media monitoring, robot journalism or 
new practices.
    Conduct teaching and supervision within the department’s entire 
portfolio of study programmes, but primarily within the journalism 
programmes. This workload may also include consultancy work for news 
organizations, delivering courses and presentation in news rooms, doing 
analyses for media companies etc.
    Perform a number of research-related tasks such as taking active 
part in developing the research collectively by e.g. joining common 
research projects, seeking external funding, and co-supervision of PhD 
students


For applicants to qualify for the position, the following criteria must 
be met (please also consult the Scholarly Qualification Matrix:

    Delineate a research profile aligned with plans of the Media 
Research and Innovation Centre.
    Document a strong research outcome and publishing experience with 
international peer-reviewed journals/presses.
    Document the ability to engage in professional networks.
    Document university-level teaching experience.
    Document experience with knowledge exchange activities.

It is important to us that applicants have good interpersonal skills and 
are dedicated to taking part in the everyday academic and social 
environment at the department. Such engagement can be documented by, for 
example, past engagement in social and professional activities. Within a 
three-year period, foreign applicants are expected to master the Danish 
language at a level which enables reading Danish exam papers and 
administrative documents.

The department believes in fostering a stimulating and inspiring 
environment for both faculty members and students. The department’s 
ambition is therefore to recruit, develop, and retain talented scholars 
committed to both academic excellence and departmental development. 
Furthermore, the department wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of 
society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates 
regardless of personal background.

For further information, please contact Head of Department, Christian
