Professor in New Media at MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative, at least one
position

Malmö University

Founded in 1998, Malmö University is today the eighth largest in Sweden with
approximately 22.000 students. Housed in modern buildings on two campuses in
the city, one near the harbour and central station and a smaller one
integrated with the hospital area - the University has played a significant
role in the transformation of Malmö from an industrial city to a centre of
learning, culture and innovation. Located in Sweden's most multicultural
city, the university is known for its expertise in widening recruitment and
attracts students with a range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative

MEDEA Collaborative Media Initiative is a ten year initiative at Malmö
University, Malmö, Sweden, focusing on new media and co-production. The idea
is to experiment with new forms of representations of knowledge and with new
models of innovation within the field of new media. The work is
practice-based and carried out in the form of co-production with actors
outside academia ­ companies, organizations, artists, citizens etc. A
special focus is put on the development of new creative practices and on new
public spheres. Currently, three full professors, four associate professors
and six PhD students are employed in the two initial research areas of MEDEA
and closely related activities, and in two year¹s time, the plan is for
MEDEA to comprise at least four major research areas and employ around 30
staff members and PhD students. The faculty of MEDEA furthermore works
closely with teachers and researchers at other parts of Malmö university,
such as The School of Arts and Communication
(http://www.mah.se/templates/Page____13026.aspx), The School of Technology
(http://www.mah.se/templates/Page____13091.aspx), The School of Education
(http://www.mah.se/templates/Page____13084.aspx) and The Department of Urban
Studies (http://www.mah.se/templates/Page____70851.aspx). MEDEA is partly
financed by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation. For examples of work carried
