*Postdoctoral position in digital media/communication and/or digital
culture/humanities*
The Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of
Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, invites applications for a postdoctoral position
in digital media/communication and/or digital culture/humanities as part of
a H2020-project on the societal values of culture to be filled by October
15, 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is for up to 21 months on 80%, (30 h/week).
Job content
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc who will conduct research and
take on coordination, organisational and communicative tasks (80%) in the
context of an international research project funded by the European
Commission.
The research, organizational and communicative tasks will be part of the
H2020-project, INVENT: European inventory of societal values of culture as a
basis for inclusive cultural policies in the globalizing
world (2020-2023). The INVENT consortium conducts large-scale empirical
research in nine European countries on how conceptions and values of culture
are constructed across different socio-economic groups. Special attention is
paid to European citizens’ perceptions and evaluations of how trends such as
globalization, digitalization and increasing social inequalities have
impacted culture. The project is based on a mixed-method research design
(incl. surveys, a smart phone study with experimental stimuli, data scraping
of online content, focus groups, case studies, and individual interviews).
INVENT is coordinated by PI Professor Susanne Janssen (Rotterdam) and a
board consisting of Predrag Cveticanin (Serbia), Professor Tally Katz-Gerro
(Haifa), Professor Nete Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen), Professor
Frederich Lebaron (Paris), Professor Semi Purhonen (Tampere), Professor
Jordi López Sintas (Barcelona), Professor Inga Tomic-Koludrovic (Croatia),
Associate Professor Marc Verboord (Rotterdam), Professor Jörg Rössel
(Zurich). For more information about the project and team:

its work packages (WP5), focusing on digitalization, led by Professor Nete
Nørgaard Kristensen (Copenhagen).
Main duties
