Postdoc Position in CULTIGEN – Culture, Tourism and Regeneration through innovative digital solutions and governance platforms (2024-224-06026)

The Department of Culture and Learning at Aalborg University's Copenhagen campus is looking for a postdoc in the field of digital methods and participatory data design. The position is for two years full time, ideally starting 1 January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Project Description
The position involves co-developing a digital toolkit for listening to urban publics and visualizing their concerns around the future of tourism in Copenhagen. The toolkit will be developed on the basis of the award-winning Urban Belonging app and the postdoc is expected to source design specifications for relevant stakeholders. The project is funded by the European Urban Initiative and will be conducted in partnership with the municipality of Copenhagen, the National Museum and private-public companies such as Wonderful Copenhagen, StoryHunt ApS, and We Do Democracy. The postdoc will be anchored in the TANTLab research group and have strong ties to the RECAST research group.

The postdoc position is part of the CULTIGEN project, which takes its outset in current controversies around overtourism across Europe. CULTIGEN will pioneer a data-driven and community-focused tourism governance fed by local communities and tourists, to better understand their grievances and better inform decision-making. As the backbone of the solution, the project will develop a participatory 'Urban listening toolkit' to engage, collect and analyze users' data on their urban experience. The tool will merge quantitative and qualitative dimensions to offer new modes of empirical understanding of urban tourism and its impacts.

The postdoc is expected to contribute to this development with an outset in digital methods, digital humanities, and participatory design. While the postdoc will not be expected to write the code underlying the tool, the candidate should have the competence to mediate between stakeholder inputs to the functionalities of the tool and the programmer building it. This involves facilitating design sprints to scope the analytical functionalities and design specifications in conversation with the future users. The research questions, methodology, and project plan for the postdoc will be developed in conversation with Professor Anders Koed Madsen and Associate Professor Martin Trandberg Jensen. The full project team will also comprise a PhD student, a research assistant, and a programmer assisting with the tool development.

THE POSITION
The postdoc fellow will be fully integrated into the award-winning research environment Techno-anthropology Lab (TANTlab) located on Aalborg University's Copenhagen campus. TANTlab offers a creative and vibrant group of international scholars working with fieldwork methods, design interventions, and digital/computational methods to engage users, publics, and partners in exploring dilemmas, controversies, and paths to sustainable and desirable futures. We strive towards creating the best possible conditions for postdoc fellows, i.e., flexible work hours and opportunities for personal and professional development.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Appointment as Postdoc presupposes scientific qualifications at PhD level or similar scientific qualifications.

  • Applicants should bring an interest in digital methods and participatory data processes.
  • Applicants must demonstrate the ability to facilitate design sprints and mediate between stakeholders and programmers.
  • Priority will be given to applicants with knowledge of digital research infrastructures such as the Urban Belonging app or similar digital humanities tools.
  • The candidate is expected to engage in co-developing the toolkit with external partners and thus have an interest in this form of 'outward-facing research'.
  • The position requires interest in scientific work and publishing.

THE APPLICATION
The application must be written in English and include the following documents:

  • A cover letter, including motivation to apply for the position (max. 2 pages)
  • 1 page description of how you see yourself contributing to the CULTIGEN project
  • Your CV.
  • A complete publication list and markings of the attached publications to be taken into consideration in connection with the assessment. No more than five publications may be attached.
  • In case you attach joint publications, a co-author statement must be enclosed specifying your contribution to the joint work. The co-author statement must be signed by at least one of the co-authors.
  • Documentation of your teaching qualifications.
  • Copies of your degree certificates (including Master's and PhD certificates).

Your application, including attachments, must be sent electronically by clicking the "Apply online" link below.

ASSESSMENT
Applicants will be assessed by an assessment committee. Shortlisting will be applied, meaning that subsequent to the deadline for applications, the head of department supported by the chair of the assessment committee will select applicants for assessment. Before the shortlisting takes place, all applicants will have the opportunity to comment on the composition of the assessment committee. All applicants will be informed whether they are selected for assessment or not.

All assessed applicants will have the opportunity to comment on their own assessment and may be invited to an interview and/or asked to give a trial lecture. When the employment process has been terminated, a final rejection will be sent to the applicants who are not considered for the position.
