K3 is a multidisciplinary school with approximately 80 employees and 1000 full-time students. The school's education and research deal with design, media, art, culture and society and it plays an important role in the Öresund region's cultural life. K3 offers PhD education in Media and Communication Studies and Interaction Design. At the heart of K3's Media and Communication Studies is a commitment to developing intervening, responsive and creative approaches to current and future challenges. A departmental track record in supporting research in New Media, Public Spheres and Forms of Expression provides further context for PhD education in Media and Communication studies, ensuring an outward societal focus that is consistent with the vision for Malmö University as a whole.
Scope and Practicalities of the research education
K3's PhD education prepares you for a career in research or teaching in academia, as well as cultivating scope for advanced professional work outside of the academic field. The goals of meaningful collaboration with other researchers, and the development of regional, national and international networks fostered by the PhD processes would support both career directions. With relevance to this PhD position, we are consolidating existing research platforms at Malmö University such as Medea and are devoting considerable energy toward the establishment of substantial new research programmes, like the Data Society Research Programme, and research platforms such as Collaborative Future Making and Rethinking Democracy.
More formally stated, and in line with the General Study Plan for third-cycle programme in Media and Communication Studies, the aim of the PhD programme is to develop the knowledge and skills required for a PhD student to independently conduct research and thereby contribute to the development of knowledge within the chosen subject area. The PhD programme is worth 240 higher education credits (equivalent to four years of full-time studies) and is completed when the PhD student publicly defends his/her dissertation. The four years of PhD education can be extended in case of, for example, teaching commitments.
Aims of the Media and Communication programme include: the experience of collaboration with other researchers, critical and scholarly engagement with both traditional and/or contemporary discourses in the field of Media and Communication, and establishing a national and international contact network. Further, it is desirable that the student integrates creative or practical work with analytical work.
As an employed PhD student you are expected to commit to full time research and to be located in the Malmö or Öresund region. Course work, regular supervision, potential teaching commitments and participation in the seminar culture of K3 mean that long distance research is not feasible for this PhD position. Decisions regarding employment of PhD students can be found in Higher Education Ordinance 5 Chap. 1-7 §§.
Eligibility requirements
The general requirements for third-cycle (PhD) education are that the student has
1) received a second-cycle higher education degree,
2) completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits are second-cycle, or
3) in some other way, nationally or internationally, acquired equivalent knowledge.
Special requirements for the position are knowledge and skills corresponding to a second-cycle degree (master) in media and communication studies or in another subject that is relevant to media and communication studies (such as communication for development).
Special requirements can also be fulfilled by demonstrating equivalent knowledge that has been acquired in some other way, nationally or internationally.
Basis of assessment
Initial assessment concerns the general and specific eligibility requirements (above).
Further, according to Higher Education Ordinance 5 Chap. 5 §, importance is placed on the student's ability to appropriate the advanced learning of the third-cycle PhD programme. The previously written material and the dissertation plan are important indicators of this ability. (Refer to instructions on the form of the application, below.)
Another important basis of assessment is the degree to which the proposed research can contribute to Media and Communication studies and the collaborative research environment at K3.
Additional assessment criteria include demonstrated analytical and communication skills, and demonstrated fluency in written and spoken English.
Additional information
Employment is full-time and time restricted according to Higher Education Ordinance 5 Chap. 7 §.
