link: http://www.aalto.fi/en/about/careers/jobs/view/193/
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER (or Doctoral Candidate) in
Transdisciplinary Design Research
The position will be filled as soon as possible, but starting date
is negotiable. The assignment is for maximum of two years. The
position is connected to the development of the “Redesign of
Society” initiative.
Key Accountabilities and Qualifications
The postdoctoral researcher will be part of the Arki research
group (http://arki.mlog.taik.fi) that studies the digitalization
of everyday life, and the challenges and opportunities for design
that this creates.
We are building a new critical transdisciplinary study and
research initiative with the theme of “Redesign of Society” (for
more detailed information, see http://arki.mlog.taik.fi/2014/05/28
/redesign-of-society-initiative-in-the-works/), and are looking
for a researcher and project leader to work with our group leader
in building the new initiative. The job will include various types
of work, including research, teaching, organizing study and
research activities, building the network, preparing research
plans and funding applications. There will be also a limited
chance to work on focused personal research that is related to the
overall thematics, especially so if the work proves successful in
terms of generating additional funding.
We are looking for a researcher who already has relevant
experience that helps her or him to engage with the theme quickly
and effectively and give strong support for the development of
various transdisciplinary teaching, research and networking
activities starting immediately. As the work will need to build a
strong network within Finland, good knowledge of the Finnish
society and its structures and funding systems and excellent
communication abilities in the Finnish language are advantages.
However, as the work will also be strongly international in its
scope, the main working language will be English, and excellent
spoken and written English ability is required.
We appreciate experience and track record of work that spans and
transcends the disciplinary boundaries of design, design research,
and e.g. philosophy, humanities, communications, or social or
political sciences, including high quality academic contributions.
We are primarily seeking a post-doctoral researcher (the Doctor’s
degree preferably completed within the last five years), but
encourage also doctoral candidates with highly relevant experience
and research interest to apply. An applicant without a doctorate
must possess a post-graduate study place in the School of Arts,
Design and Architecture, or in some other equivalent University.
Location
Media Lab of Aalto University School of Arts, Design and
Architecture, Miestentie 3, Espoo, Finland.
Wage level
Salary will be paid according to the University’s salary scheme.
Application period and instructions
Please submit your application documents, including (1) a
motivation letter with a description of your background and
experience, especially considering the Redesign of Society theme
(see http://arki.mlog.taik.fi/2014/05/28/redesign-of-society-
initiative-in-the-works/), (2) CV, (3) a list of publications, (4)
a portfolio of earlier work that you consider relevant, and (5) a
possible certificate of the doctoral degree, in Saima recruitment
system by June 10th 2014. We appreciate if you are able to submit
all documents within a single pdf file.
We will start processing applications as soon as they come in, so
we encourage early submissions. All application materials should
be in English.
Aalto University reserves the right for justified reasons to leave
the position open, to extend the application period and to
consider candidates who have not submitted applications during the
application period.
The application materials will not be returned.
