Subject: Job opening: DIAS Assistant Professor in Humanistic aspects of ICT at University of Southern Denmark
DIAS Assistant Professor in Humanistic aspects of ICT
The Danish Institute for Advanced Study and the Department of Design and
Communication seek an outstanding candidate to fill a position at the Assistant
Professor level in the field of Humanistic aspects of ICT.
The position is a joint position at DIAS<https://danish-ias.dk> and the
Department of Design and Communication. Starts August 1, 2022 or as soon as
possible thereafter. The department resides at the University of Southern
Denmark’s campus in Kolding. The place of employment is campus Kolding, but the
successful candidate is expected to be at the DIAS in Odense on a weekly basis.
The appointment is a unique position for the highly ambitious “rising star” that
is looking for a long-term position in a very strong interdisciplinary
environment, permitting the candidate to pursue ideas with groundbreaking
potential. The position runs for four years followed by the possibility for a
subsequent two years of employment as an Associate Professor - this extension
will be based on an evaluation procedure. Note that teaching obligations will be
reduced in this position compared to a regular Assistant Professor position at
SDU.
The candidate will have two affiliations and is anticipated to contribute
actively to both environments
DIAS
DIAS aims to inspire groundbreaking ideas through the meeting of minds across
the sciences and humanities. There is a strong focus on talent development of
young researchers who work on game changing ideas. So far, 18 DIAS Fellows from
five faculties are gathered here, and the applicant will become one of them.
Eminent academics are appointed as chairs and senior fellows, and in that
capacity form the backbone of DIAS as they catalyze activities within their
field.
Thus, DIAS offers an interdisciplinary research environment, where you will
interact with the strongest researchers from the five faculties at University of
Southern Denmark. Furthermore, DIAS offers substantial support in applications
for further external funding from prestigious national and European funding
schemes, e.g., Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and the ERC starting grants.
More information about DIAS activities can be found at www.danish-
ias.dk<http://www.danish-ias.dk/>.
Humanistic aspects of ICT
We welcome applicants working with humanistic aspects of ICT, broadly conceived.
Applicants should have an interdisciplinary orientation and an expressed
interest in participating in the cross-disciplinary cooperation at the
department.
The Department for Design and Communication hosts a Center for Computational
Thinking, in collaboration with Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Special focus areas for the center are design for learning computational
thinking; computational thinking (analogue, embodied, and digital), modelling,
and visualization within the humanities; and computational thinking through
“computational things” (physical ICT). The successful applicant is expected to
be affiliated with this center.
It is a requirement for the position that the applicant should have documented
research qualifications within humanistic aspects of ICT. Programming skills are
welcomed but not required.
The successful candidate will have a strong international profile, a strong
record of research publications, and have demonstrated exceptional potential to
excel in scientific research.
We expect the applicants to actively engage in the development of relevant
research units at the department as well as contribute to the interdisciplinary
research in DIAS.
