Dear AoIRists, Please pass along the following announcement to potentially interested candidates. == Department of Media and Communication 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.htm...). 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.-- == For the complete announcement, including application details, please see: <http://uio.easycruit.com/vacancy/1403312/62047?iso=gb> Many thanks, - charles ess Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo Director, Centre for Research in Media Innovations (CeRMI) Editor, The Journal of Media Innovations <https://www.journals.uio.no/index.php/TJMI/> President, INSEIT <www.inseit.net> Postboks 1093 Blindern 0317 Oslo, Norway c.m.ess@media.uio.no
