Postdoctoral Fellow for the Research Project DiNoBord - IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark

[Vasilis Galis]

Dear colleagues, we are looking for a postdoctoral fellow at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies, Critical Big Data Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Critical Migration and Border Studies.

The Dept of Business IT, ITU, is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for the research project “Digital Nordic Borders - Unpacking the contention between openness and security in the Nordic region: Digital public surveillance practices at three state borders” funded by the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland (Svenska litteratursällskapet i Finland) and led by the University of Gothenburg. The position will be supervised by ITU which will be the official employer.

This project focuses on one of the main sites of contention between Nordic openness and security, namely new practices of digital public surveillance at Nordic borders. Borders are objects of national and international efforts of surveillance, with increasingly advanced technologies, and as such, symbols of the contention between Nordic openness and security.

The proposed starting date is September 1, 2023. An earlier or later start date may be negotiated. The position runs for a total of 24 months.

Application deadline: December 15, 2022 at 23:59 CET.
