We welcome applicants with a proven record in the social study of digital media at the global scale.

The department is a world-renowned hub of interdisciplinary research and teaching. It is known for its collegiality and its commitment to impactful and creative research, teaching and public engagement.

The department takes very seriously its responsibility to help make the world a better place through our research, and to help transform the lives of our students. Hence, it focuses upon research and teaching activity that is publicly engaged and makes a positive impact on society.
