[Commlist] Senior lecturer position in Environmental Communication at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
Wed Dec 22 23:04:33 GMT 2021
Here at the Division of Environmental Communication at the Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences, we are currently recruiting a
senior lecturer (Swedish: ‘universitetslektor’, a tenured position) in
environmental communication (see link below).
At the Division of Environmental Communication, we investigate
communication aspects of environmental and sustainability issues. We
consider communication as the joint construction of meaning rather than
as the transmission of information, and conduct primarily qualitative
social science research concerned with themes such as participation,
power, conflict and learning in decision-making and change processes,
drawing on communication theoretical, sociological and political science
perspectives. Our research spans a wide range of contexts such as nature
conservation, forestry, food production, climate change, game
management, mining and the built environment.
An important objective of our work is to contribute to processes of
sustainability transformation, both in Sweden and at a global level. The
position offers access to SLU’s vibrant and attractive research
environment, with a unique breadth and opportunities for multi- and
interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers from other social
science and humanities backgrounds, including economics, as well as
research groups in natural sciences and engineering.
Our education in environmental communication provides students with
theoretical knowledge and practical skills that enable them to
understand, deal with and coordinate communication in change processes
related to sustainable development and environmental management.
Theoretical and practical components of courses are interwoven in
teaching activities including experience-based workshops, case study
investigations, group projects and reflective assignments.
We are looking for a senior lecturer to further strengthen the
division’s profile in both research and education in one or several of
the areas mentioned above, and to contribute to the development of the
existing subject area.
*Subject area:*
The subject area addresses communication in environmental and
sustainability-related contexts with a focus on communication as the
co-construction of meaning, including both constitutive and instrumental
perspectives on the role of communication in society.
