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.

primarily on research published the last five years.

well as future plans for research, and ambitions when it comes to

The successful applicant must be willing and able to teach compulsory 
courses at both graduate and undergraduate level at the department. The

right candidate.
