2 maanden geleden


Utrecht Binnenstad, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

**Wat ga je doen?**:
As AI-driven tools and platforms become structurally embedded into schools’ digital environments and practices, the existing infrastructures of public education are increasingly pulled into the globalized ecosystems of Big Tech. In this project you will critically investigate the structural convergence of Public Education, Big Tech and AI in the Netherlands, and study the implications of this process for reshaping public education.

During the first six months of the project, you will work on a detailed research plan based on an extended version of the 'Project Description' above, which you will carry out independently during the remainder of the project. In the second and/or third year of the project you may be asked to teach a few classes, but no more than 10% of your appointment.

**Wat breng je mee?**:

- has an (R)MA degree in (digital) media studies, communications, education and technology, or a similar relevant research area;
- has excellent independent (critical) research skills, as demonstrated in the (R)MA thesis or any publications assessed as such;
- has a serious interest in issues at the intersection of public education and digitisation;
- has an academic interest in and thorough knowledge of platform studies (in education), and the processes of platformisation, infrastructuralisation and datafication;
- has an excellent command of English (an additional command of Dutch is preferred).

**Wat bieden wij?**:
We offer:

- a job for 18 months. In case of good performance and a positive evaluation, the contract will be extended for the remaining period of 30 months (4 years in total);
- a working week of 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €2,872 and €3,670 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.

In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth.

**Over ons**:
A better future for everyone. This ambition motivates our scientists in executing their leading research and inspiring teaching. At Utrecht University, the various disciplines collaborate intensively towards major strategic themes. Our focus is on Dynamics of Youth, Institutions for Open Societies, Life Sciences and Pathways to Sustainability. Sharing science, shaping tomorrow.

The Faculty of Humanities has around 7,000 students and 1,100 staff members. It comprises four knowledge domains: Philosophy and Religious Studies, History and Art History, Media and Culture Studies, and Languages, Literature and Communication. With its research and education in these fields, the Faculty aims to contribute to a better understanding of the Netherlands and Europe in a rapidly changing social and cultural context. The enthusiastic and committed colleagues and the excellent amenities in the historical city centre of Utrecht, where the faculty is located, contribute to an inspiring working environment.

The department of Media and Culture Studies has a staff with a variety of backgrounds, skills, and views. As a department, we are committed to support our staff and their development and we foster various forms of interdisciplinary collaboration and team-based teaching and research. In our department, we study a wide range of media as well as cultural and artistic expressions, also in their intermedial relations. We interpret culture as a dynamic combination of artistic, creative, and everyday activities that people use to shape their identities, and within which social processes, structures and institutions are shaped. We welcome colleagues who can further strengthen the diversity of perspectives and backgrounds in our department.
