Vacant position as an Associate Professor in Media studies

The Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen has a vacant permanent position as associate professor in media studies within the field of media use and audience research.

Several research groups at the department work with such perspectives, including Bergen Media Use Research Group which is a large and active group with projects funded by the ERC and the Research Council of Norway. The group is engaged in extensive international collaborations, and places great emphasis on creating an inclusive and dynamic environment for young researchers. Media use is a pillar in the organization of the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in media and communication at UiB, and a field with longstanding traditions in research at the department. The person who is hired will contribute to further developing media use research at the department to the highest international level.
