[Commlist] Job: Assistant/associate professor (tenure track) in global communication sciences at LUT Finland

The Department of Social Sciences at Lappeenranta University of 
Technology, Finland, is looking for a professor of global communications 
and climate change.

The Department of Social Sciences was founded in 2022 under the LUT 
School of Engineering Sciences. The department understands society and 
human activities in relation to global sustainability problems and 
consists of two disciplines, social science and communication sciences. 
In autumn 2024, three master’s programmes in social sciences and 
communication sciences will start at the department. The department will 
eventually detach and form an independent school of its own at the 
university.

The professorship falls under the communication sciences programme at 
the Department of Social Sciences. Communication sciences at LUT focus 
on global communication, strategic narratives, disinformation, soft 
power, and different forms of influence in the modern environment of 
advanced technologies and media.

The position is situated at the assistant/associate professor levels of 
the tenure track and will be filled through an open call for a fixed 
term of four years on LUT’s Lappeenranta campus, Finland. The tenure 
track system offers researchers a possibility to advance to a full 
professorship. The work will start with a six-month trial period.

We are looking for a future-oriented professor interested in global 
climate communication(s) in a mediatised and technologised world, 
relating particularly to climate change and LUT’s strategic focus areas 
– clean water, air, and energy. Specifically, we are looking for a 
curious mind who is interested in a long-term academic career and is 
passionate about continuous learning and making the world a better place 
through science.
