Project Description

The PhD project is to be designed and conducted in a way that contributes significantly to the research group that the successful candidate will join. The position will fall to the applicant with the top-ranked application, given that – after an interview round with the person and the other leading candidates – the candidate is found to be best suited to fill the position. She/he will be a member of one of the five research groups at IJM (see descriptions below).

Research Groups in IJM

Digital Journalism (DJRG) strives towards being a leading environment for research and development activities within the field of digital journalism in Norway, as well as internationally. The group investigates how the profession and the journalistic institutions are changing, and also to gain a more refined understanding of journalism’s role and boundaries in society and thus also of what journalism is and what (digital) journalism studies should be. For more information: Digital Journalism (DJRG)

Media, War and Conflict (MEKK) investigates and analyses journalism in and about war, conflict and peace processes. The research is of direct relevance to the journalism profession and for the study programmes both in journalism, photojournalism and media and communication at all levels from BA to PhD at the department of journalism and media studies. For more information: Media, War and Conflict (MEKK)

Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design in Media (MIED) concentrates their research on media start-ups and innovation in a media environment typified by rapid changes in technology, stakeholders, markets and media usage. For more information: Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Design in Media (MIED) 

Media, Environment and Society (MMS) investigates the central questions regarding climate change in the media and society. We will do qualitative content analyses of climate summits and national elections of all countries in the world. The purpose is to keep an overview of how the rhetoric and the politicians handle the climate question. For more information: Media, Environment and Society (MMS)

Media Narration Group (MNG) looks at how narratives develop over time and how they construct and reflect ways of seeing reality, both in journalism and other media productions. We also examine how other developments in society affect media texts (verbal, visual and auditory) and vice versa. An essential part of the group’s work is strengthening discussion between researchers, media practitioners and society in general. For more information: Media Narration Group (MNG)

The deadline for applications is March 29, 2021
