<b class="">PhD scholarship in internet research with a focus on the United States (re-advertisement)<br class="">
</b><br class="">
The Department of Media, Cognition, and Communication, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship. The successful candidate will be affiliated with the Peoples’ Internet (PIN) project sponsored
by the Carlsberg Foundation. The scholarship is expected to begin November 1, 2016, or as soon as possible thereafter.<br class="">
<br class="">
Description of the project<br class="">
<br class="">
“The Peoples’ Internet – Market, state, and civil society in China, Europe, and the United States” will undertake a comparative study of the internet in different world regions. Digital networks are among the most flexible and universally applicable technologies
ever invented by humans. But the many significant variations in the social uses of the internet around the world remain poorly understood. The PIN project compares the current state and future potential of the internet in three centers of the global economy
and world politics – China, Europe, and the United States – focusing on the interplay of civil society with the other two key sectors of modern societies: market and state.<br class="">
<br class="">
The PhD candidate will be an integral part of the PIN research group. The PhD candidate will participate both in formal project events and in informal deliberations throughout the candidate’s affiliation with the project; will have the opportunity both to pursue
personal research interests and to contribute to the overall theoretical and methodological framework of PIN; and will join a wider interdisciplinary research environment centered in the University of Copenhagen’s Center for Communication and Computing and
its research group on Digital Communication and Aesthetics. In addition to coursework and other institutional obligations, the PhD candidate will undertake the following main activities:<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• six months of ethnographic fieldwork in the USA<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• review of regulatory regimes and cultural traditions in the fieldwork area<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• participation in analyses of population surveys<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• contributions to the dissemination of project findings and other outreach.<br class="">
</div>
<br class="">
The successful PhD candidate must be fluent in spoken and written academic English. Prior experience with cross-cultural studies and/or survey research within media and communication studies will be considered an advantage, but is not a requirement. It is expected
that the successful candidate will be present, part of the research group, and engaged in the activities of PIN on a daily basis. Departing from the PIN project framework, the PhD project description must include:<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• a main section outlining preliminary research questions, methodological considerations, and a time schedule for a six-month ethnographic fieldwork in the United States of America<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• a section identifying preliminary issues to be addressed in a review of regulatory regimes and cultural traditions in the U.S.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>• a section discussing how insights from the fieldwork may inform and complement the survey component of the PIN project.<br class="">
</div>
<br class="">
Please notice that this position is advertised in parallel with a similar position where the focus is on Europe, please see: <a href="http://phd.humanities.ku.dk/how_to_apply/calls/phd-scholarship-in-internet-research-with-a-focus-" class="">http://phd.humanities.ku.dk/how_to_apply/calls/phd-scholarship-in-internet-research-with-a-focus-</a>on-europe/ <br class="">
<br class="">
The project proposal must lie within the overall framework of PIN. For further information, including a copy of the project framework, please contact the Principal Investigator of PIN, Professor Klaus Bruhn Jensen <a href="mailto:kbj@hum.ku.dk" class="">kbj@hum.ku.dk</a> <br class="">
