About this position
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting two Doctoral Researchers for a three-year fixed-term period within the profiling action project Language, Diversity, and Participation in Technology-Driven Society (LADiTS). The positions are based primarily at the Centre for Applied Language Studies and linked to the Department of Language and Communication Studies.
The project examines how language shapes participation, epistemic diversity, and social justice in contemporary technology-driven societies. It brings together research on language, technology, multilingualism, and participation, with attention to changing linguistic environments and their effects on individuals and communities. The research agenda includes multilingual education, language policy, technology-mediated multilingual practices, and questions of accessibility and equity for second-language users of the national languages.
Successful candidates will work closely with the LADiTS research team, contributing to data collection and analysis across multiple settings. The role is research-focused and aimed at completing a doctoral thesis within an international and interdisciplinary environment. The project emphasizes responsible and systematic research, advanced open science, and research practices with relevance for society, education, and policy in Finland and beyond.
The position is located in Jyväskylä, at a university community that highlights multidisciplinary collaboration, wellbeing, and strong research support for early-career scholars.
