The holders of these positions will undertake and disseminate research, and teach within the domains of media studies. For one of the two associate professorships there are extra requirements in quantitative methodology. Applicants for this position must demonstrate academic experience and proficiency in the use of quantitative methodologies for media research. The applicant must be able to teach these at Master and PhD levels.

The Department of media and Communication (IMK) conducts research and teaching and dissemination of knowledge on the modern media and their impacts on people and societies. IMK numbers 18 full-time faculty members, and houses a ph.d programme with some 30 candidates.
