Hi all! As Director of the DIGSUM Centre for Digital Social Research at Umeå University, I want to encourage digital/social scholars (within 7 years of obtaining their PhD) to apply for a tenure-track position with us. The amazing conditions are: - A 6-year position as Assistant Professor with substantial protected research time, a yearly 1 million SEK (€ 90k / $ 105 k) - Comes with a fully funded PhD student for you to recruit and supervise - A further yearly 100kSEK (€9k / $ 10.5k) in research resources Your research should broadly align with our work (<https://digsum.org>), and you must be prepared to relocate to Umeå, Sweden. The call will open no later than July 1st 2026. Importantly: this is part of a broader call which isopen to applicants from any discipline. Ten posts will be appointed across the university as a whole, each matched to a strong research environment — DIGSUM being one such environment — through an open competition decided at the faculty level. We are eager to receive applicants in our area and will support any strong application however we can. If you are interested, please contact me directly (<simon.lindgren@umu.se>), as making a connection with us before applying is very likely to increase your chances of a match.
