The Center for Journalism, Department of Political Science and Public Management, University of Southern Denmark, Odense invites applications for a postdoctoral position for the SafeChilDe project. The position is available from 1 April 2024.
Job content
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow for 18 months for the SafeChilDe project, which will investigate children and misinformation. The project is supported by TrygFonden and unfolds in three work packages. Work package 1 focuses on the law around children and misinformation. Work package 2 focuses on children's experiences with misinformation in everyday life, while work package 3 focuses on developing a learning game that can prepare children for the encounter with misinformation.
This position is linked to work package 2 with a focus on investigating the nature and extent of misinformation in the target group of 5–12-year olds' everyday life. We are therefore looking for a candidate who ideally has experience with both qualitative and quantitative methods and with the child target group.
Researchers from the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities and The Digital Democracy Center (DDC) participate in SafeChilDe. In work package 2, you will refer to Lene Heiselberg from the Center for Journalism.
The postdoc is expected to:
- work independently with, e.g., scientific articles, data reports, qualitative research in the form of MESM (digital ethnography) and representative survey in collaboration with an external supplier (data processing in SPSS).
- be interested in interdisciplinary collaboration. It is expected that the postdoc will contribute professionally as well as socially to the research environment.
- be able communicate results from the project in writing and orally in both Danish and English in academic and popular science contexts.
- speak and write Danish, as it is necessary to communicate with Danish-speaking children aged 5-12 and their parents.
The postdoc will be employed at Center for Journalism and will collaborate with the Digital Democracy Center and the Department of Design, Media and Educational Science at SDU. For a detailed description of the research profile and activities, please visit the websites of the sections.
The Department of Political Science and Public Management believes in fostering a stimulating and inspiring environment for both faculty members and students. The department's ambition is therefore to recruit, develop, and retain talented scholars committed to both academic excellence and departmental development. Furthermore, the department wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
For more information about the project and the position, please contact Associate Professor Thomas Enemark Lundtofte: thomas@sdu.dk or Associate Professor Lene Heiselberg: lhei@journalism.sdu.dk.
Application, salary, etc.
Appointment to the position requires a PhD or equivalent and will be in accordance with the salary agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
Research will be predominant in the position. Teaching assignments can be agreed individually. Furthermore, other types of assignments may occur to a limited degree. The University determines the distribution of the various assignments. The weighting of the different assignments may vary over time.
Upgrading of pedagogical qualifications is not a part of this position. Employment as Postdoc alone will thus not qualify to later appointment as Associate Professor/Senior Researcher.

Assessment of applications will be done under the existing Appointment Order for universities. Applications will be assessed by an academic assessment committee that determines whether applicants are qualified to be a postdoctoral fellow according to the Scholarly Qualification Matrix. The committee may request additional information, and if so, it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide the necessary material. The committee reserves the right to arrive at a decision solely based on the material submitted.
Applications that are incomplete with regard to the above requirements will not be assessed by the committee.
Shortlisting may be used in the assessment process.
When the assessment committee has submitted its report, the applicant will receive the part of the evaluation that concerns them.

The appointment committee will manage and complete a series of job interviews with especially promising applicants. On the basis of the applications, the written assessments, the job interviews, and a deliberation within the appointment committee, the head of department determines which candidate(s) will be offered the position.
