*Postdoctoral position in digital media/communication and/or digital
culture/humanities*
The Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of
Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, invites applications for a postdoctoral
position in digital media/communication and/or digital
culture/humanities as part of a H2020-project on the societal values of
culture to be filled by October 15, 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is for up to 21 months on 80%, (30 h/week).
Job content
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc who will conduct research
and take on coordination, organisational and communicative tasks (80%)
in the context of an international research project funded by the
European Commission.
The research, organizational and communicative tasks will be part of the
H2020-project, INVENT: European inventory of societal values of culture
as a basis for inclusive cultural policies in the globalizing
world (2020-2023). The INVENT consortium conducts large-scale empirical
research in nine European countries on how conceptions and values of
culture are constructed across different socio-economic groups. Special
attention is paid to European citizens’ perceptions and evaluations of
how trends such as globalization, digitalization and increasing social
inequalities have impacted culture. The project is based on a
mixed-method research design (incl. surveys, a smart phone study with
experimental stimuli, data scraping of online content, focus groups,
case studies, and individual interviews).
INVENT is coordinated by PI Professor Susanne Janssen (Rotterdam) and a
board consisting of Predrag Cveticanin (Serbia), Professor Tally
Katz-Gerro (Haifa), Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen),
Professor Frederich Lebaron (Paris), Professor Semi Purhonen (Tampere),
Professor Jordi López Sintas (Barcelona), Professor Inga
Tomic-Koludrovic (Croatia), Associate Professor Marc Verboord
(Rotterdam), Professor Jörg Rössel (Zurich). For more information about
the project and team: https://inventculture.eu <https://inventculture.eu>.

one of its work packages (WP5), focusing on digitalization, led by
Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen).
Main duties
- Conduct research within the framework of the INVENT project, as
outlined in the grant agreement (especially WP5 on digitalization);

- Coordinate and contribute to the dissemination and communication of
project activities and findings to a wider academic and non-academic
audience via social media, the project’s website, newsletters, animation
videos, workshops with stakeholders, conferences, etc.;
- Publish and present research results in the form of policy briefings,
reports, articles in international peer reviewed journals, and papers at

conferences
