Call for Applications - Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2025-2026

The Center on Digital Culture and Society 
(https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/center-on-digital-culture-and-society 
<https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/center-on-digital-culture-and-society>) 
at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication 
invites applications to fill one postdoctoral fellowship position for 
the 2025-2026 academic year.  Applications are welcomed from scholars 
who have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in or after May 
2022. The term of appointment is: August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026.

Founded in July 2019, the Center on Digital Culture and Society (CDCS) 
supports critical, interdisciplinary scholarship on digital culture, 
technology, and society. CDCS aims to develop critical approaches to 
digital cultural studies and create an intellectual community for 
dialogue and collaboration among academics, citizens, and activists.

CDCS postdoctoral fellowships support research on all aspects of digital 
culture and society which fall within CDCS’s broad mission. Fellows at 
the CDCS pursue their own research but are expected to be in residence 
and to be fully engaged in the life of the Center.

Fellows are provided a minimum stipend of $66,300, commensurate with 
previous postdoctoral experience, a research fund of $3,000, individual 
health insurance and dependent coverage, a workspace and a computer, and 
library access. In addition, CDCS will cover $1000 in domestic 
relocation expenses and $2000 if moving internationally. All 
postdoctoral fellows must submit documentation to demonstrate 
eligibility to work in the United States and provide either a notarized 
copy of a diploma, or notarized statement from a registrar or University 
official confirming completion of doctoral degree requirements. Non-US 
citizens selected for this position will be required to apply for an 
appropriate US visa.

To receive full consideration, applications should be received by 
*February 14, 2025*. To apply, please send a C.V., a research statement, 
a writing sample, a list of three references with contact information 
*as one pdf document* to: (cdcs /at/ asc.upenn.edu)
