Associate Professorship of Digital Culture

Job

The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is seeking to appoint an Associate Professor of Digital Culture, in association with a Research Fellowship at Green Templeton College. The post will sit within the OII. The successful candidate will conduct outstanding research and deliver graduate teaching on topics relating to digital life and culture. The position is open to candidates from the social sciences with a research profile in areas such as Internet cultures (identity, norms, expression, aesthetics), digital arts and creativity, social movements and participation, cultural analytics or related areas. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct innovative research that uses qualitative methods to generate important insights for society, and to be willing to engage in cross-disciplinary collaborations that support this. We are keen to see applications from candidates in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, media and communications, and political science but candidates from cognate disciplines conducting relevant research are also welcome to apply. We particularly welcome candidates conducting policy-relevant research and those with skills in digital ethnography, online interviewing, cross-cultural qualitative analysis and large-scale qualitative data analysis. As an outward-looking multi-disciplinary social science department, the successful candidate should enjoy engaging across disciplines and should also be comfortable engaging with non-academic audiences.
