Doctoral research fellowship within Media Innovation
A full-time position as a PhD Fellow (SKO 1017) in Media Studies,
specializing in Media Innovation is available at the Department of Media
and Communication, University of Oslo (please see
http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/).
Media Studies is defined here as the interdisciplinary study of the
modern media, their form and content, institutions and use, their
political, social, cultural and aesthetic contexts, using approaches
from the Social Sciences and the Humanities.
Media Innovations is a prioritized research area at the Department of
Media and Communication (please see
http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/research/center/media-innovations/index.html).
Media Innovations includes research on how changing technologies and
changing modes of usage and engagement with media bring about media
innovation and transformation of the media sector with perspectives
ranging from institutional and structural conditions, to genres and
expressions.
One central field within the research area is Media Innovation by Media
Design. This involves research on how design within Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) and media industries interact with
media innovations both narrowly considered (e.g., within journalism,
education, etc.) and more broadly considered, i.e., recognizing that
media innovations are interwoven with larger social and political contexts.
The PhD fellowship is within this field of Media Innovation by Media
Design. Projects are particularly encouraged that develop, realize and
test in practice, new approaches to design that expand beyond current
models. Projects that study media innovation by media design in the
industry will also be considered. In both cases, projects are welcomed
that foster media innovations explicitly oriented towards human beings
as citizens, not solely as users or consumers.--
