[Commlist] Senior lecturer position in Environmental Communication at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

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.
