The DANI team is complete!

After a long search, the DANI team is finally complete. Torbjörn Rolandsson has started as postdoctoral researcher to look into how news media, journalists, and developers work with content-management systems. Torbjörn did his PhD dissertation Spellistejournalistik: En studie av algoritmisk design, automatisering och journalistiska praktiker på Sveriges Radio at Stockholm University (2023), and he is the perfect match for the position.

Here is a picture of the research group. This is truly a dream-team. The picture is from our retreat at Kragerup Gods earlier this month, where we had the first opportunity to talk in-depth through all the subprojects and the connections between them.

We’re hiring

Happy to announce, we’re hiring! We just posted three positions for junior researchers in the Datafied News Industry (DANI) research project. There are two postdoc positions and one PhD scholarship. The deadlines for applications are October 15 (the postdocs) and October 20, 2023 (the PhD). The successful candidates start February 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The first postdoc explores how audience data informs and influences the development and administration of paywalls. The second postdoc researches the use of audience data in developing digital news offerings (focus on AI). And the PhD (which is fully funded and runs three years) looks into how audience data changes journalistic practice and output. All research should pay attention to the Danish/Scandinavian case, but international comparison is very welcome. There is more information in the job postings, which are available on the website of Roskilde University. They contain all the formal stuff as well.
