University or Organization: University of Oulu 
Department: Research Unit of Languages and Literature at the Faculty of Humanities
Job Location: Oulu, Finland 
Web Address: http://www.oulu.fi/coact/
Job Title: Tenure Track Position in Multimodal Interaction and Discourse
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor; Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Anthropological Linguistics; Discourse Analysis 


Description:

For strengthening its profile at international level, the University of Oulu
announces a tenure-track opening for researchers in multimodal interaction and
discourse.

Tenure track positions can be allocated to the career levels of the assistant
professor, associate professor, full professor and distinguished professor.
The positions are designed to promote the careers of outstanding researchers
and give them the opportunity to gain further scientific qualifications in
view of an academic career. The researchers appointed to a tenure track
position may advance in their career through the tenure track process and be
appointed to a permanent position as a professor or a distinguished professor.
When recruiting for the positions, outstanding or world-class scientific
quality is set as a requirement, and this must be verified via evaluations
from high-level international researchers.

The position is placed at the Faculty of Humanities, in the Research Unit of
Languages and Literature. The successful applicant will work in the COACT
research community (Complexity of [Inter]action), which studies complexity of
interaction and multimodal participation (http://www.oulu.fi/coact/). It is
expected of the successful applicant that his or her research field and
research activities will further strengthen such research at Oulu. COACT is an
active community that encompasses approx. 30 researchers (including 4 PIs,
postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students). It organises weekly meetings
and collaborates nationally and internationally with a large number of
institutes worldwide. It currently hosts several research projects, two of
which are funded by the Academy of Finland, and its results are regularly
published in leading journals and conferences in the field. Additionally, the
successful applicant will join an international and multidisciplinary research
community of researchers from multiple faculties and disciplines that
collaborates on new ubiquitous technologies and digital solutions. 

The tenure-track position is directed towards multimodal interaction and
discourse with, around and through new ubiquitous technologies and digital
solutions (e.g. wireless communication, virtual/augmented reality, Internet of
Things). Furthermore, the position is directed towards
exploring the needs of lay people and professionals who will use these
technologies as part of their everyday lives, studying how people use and
adopt these technologies in their natural environments, and applying the
results to help people use these technologies in the future.

A successful applicant will be familiar with and have a solid and
internationally high-quality track-record in research that focuses on language
use, social action and multimodal interaction. It is expected of the applicant
that she or he will be familiar with video-based and ethnographic research
methods focusing on the sequential analysis of interaction, multimodal
interaction analysis and/or that take into account participants’ histories and
interactions across multiple timescales. Experience in research on interaction
in technology-rich environments and in working in multidisciplinary research
environments is considered an advantage. The researcher will participate in
both the undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as MSc/PhD thesis
supervision in the Research Unit of Languages and Literature.
