The Guest Professor\u2019s work is expected to result in high-quality research and publications, again in collaboration with other members of the Department.<\/p>\n

Apart from research development and leadership, the Guest Professor\u2019s assignment also includes responsibility for teaching academic courses and course development and administrative work at the Department of Informatics and Media. The teaching component consists out of 50% of the work load, with teaching and course development at the undergraduate and master’s level, and with the supervision of theses. The Guest Professor is expected to be responsible for courses in the indicated thematic fields, but other areas may be included.<\/p>\n

The candidate must possess the necessary social and collaborative skills that allow functioning well within, as well as outside, the Department.<\/p>\n

The ideal candidate will have specific knowledge in Organisational Communication but also be proficient in Corporate and Strategic Communication, and more general in Communication and Media studies theories, models and methodologies.<\/p>\n

In cases where no formal position as (full) Professor has been held previously, but the candidate\u2019s expertise is still deemed to be situated at the level of a Professor, the candidacy may be subjected to an external review.<\/p>\n

Additional qualifications:\u2028\u00a0<\/strong>Existing or upcoming involvements in externally financed research projects will be considered when formalizing the temporary position.\u2028Uppsala University strives to be an inclusive workplace that promotes equal opportunities and attracts qualified candidates who can contribute to the University\u2019s excellence and diversity.
