DIAS Assistant Professor of Humanities in Organisational Communication
2 days ago
Denmark University of Southern Denmark
The Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) and the Faculty of Humanities are seeking to appoint a DIAS Assistant Professor to contribute to the interdisciplinary field of organisational communication. DIAS Assistant Professor tenure track positions run for up to six years, after which tenure will be offered subject to positive evaluations and reviews.
Given the central role of commercial, non-profit and governmental organisations in contemporary society – and of practices of ‘organisation’ in increasingly many domains of social life – researching organisational meaning-making practices and outputs is crucial for comprehending their broader societal impact. The ideal candidate will research such issues, recognising that communication is not merely an output of organisations but is also constitutive of them and lends itself to being researched from various perspectives. We are looking for a candidate who can engage with diverse research methodologies and particularly welcome applicants with a background in semiotics, multimodality, or narrative.
The successful candidate must have an international profile and a strong emerging record of research and funding excellence as well as novel ideas with a clear potential to expand our frontiers of knowledge.
The position is a joint position at DIAS and the Department of Culture and Language at University of Southern Denmark (SDU). The candidate will thus have two affiliations—DIAS and the department—and is expected to contribute to both. Tenure will be offered in the department with continued affiliation with DIAS.
The starting date for the position is September 1st, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
About DIAS
DIAS at SDU is a hub for interdisciplinary excellence at and beyond the frontier of knowledge, bringing together outstanding researchers from various disciplines to foster interdisciplinary research and innovation. It hosts Chairs and Fellows from all faculties of the university, fostering an interdisciplinary environment. DIAS encourages and supports curiosity-driven research and fosters the meeting of minds across disciplines and levels of seniority. The center cultivates an ambitious, open-minded and playful environment that nurtures both academic growth and a strong sense of community. The candidate will be anticipated to contribute actively to DIAS, including but not limited to participation in DIAS activities, promotion of DIAS nationally, internationally and within SDU, as well as through strengthening the bonds between the department/faculty on one hand and DIAS on the other, through interdisciplinary collaborations where meaningful.
About the Department of Culture and Language
The Department of Culture and Language is located at SDU’s campus in Odense and home for approximately 200 employees, covering a wide range of subjects and research interests, including American Studies, SLT and Audiology, Classical Studies, Communication, Comparative Literature, Culture, Danish, English, German, History, Middle East Studies, Organisational Communication, and the Study of Religion. Our staff is committed to interdisciplinary research and teaching, encouraging students to explore the intersections of language, culture, and society. Our researchers are actively involved in various research centres, groups, and networks, contributing to cutting-edge projects and publications.
Conditions of employment
Appointment to the position will be in accordance with the salary agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Please check links for more information on salary (only available in Danish) and taxation.
