Dear all, We are excited to share a postdoctoral position in our research project Power over Platforms? hosted at The Center for Tracking and Society at the Department of Communication, University of Copenhagen (UCPH). It is a fixed term position to be filled from 15 October 2026 (or as soon as possible hereafter) and runs till the end of August 2028. The position is part of the ?Power over Platforms?? project that aims to understand how power is exercised over platform companies by actors who have neither raw economic nor formal regulatory or legislative means. The focus is on how civil society groups, interest groups, professional associations, and companies from other sectors sometimes actively try to shape how platform companies operate. The candidates are expected to contribute to an empirical mapping of actors seeking to influence platform companies, analyze their strategies, and how the context, object, and goal of their efforts influence outcomes. We are especially interested in applicants with theoretical and methodological qualifications from within the broad field of digital media and communications research, and social scientists interested in digital media and communications. Experience with platform studies with an emphasis on governance and a track record of relevant empirical work, especially work focused on civil society actors, is an advantage. An interest in governance issues around content moderation, privacy and data protection, and generative artificial intelligence is welcome. So is an ability to work in one or more major EU languages (e.g. German, French) in addition to English. Applicants with previous experience in qualitative interviews, fieldwork, document analysis, and similar relevant empirical approaches will be preferred.
