About this position

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä is recruiting two Postdoctoral Researchers in Applied Language Studies for a four-year fixed-term project starting 3 May 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter. The positions are part of the profiling action project “Language, Diversity, and Participation in Technology-Driven Society” (LADiTS), hosted by the Centre for Applied Language Studies (CALS) and the Department of Language and Communication Studies.

The LADiTS project examines how language shapes participation, epistemic diversity, and social justice in contemporary technology-driven societies. It brings together research on multilingualism, language policy, multilingual education, and technology-mediated multilingual practices, with attention to accessibility and equity for second-language users of the national languages. The project aims to generate theoretical and methodological innovation while producing knowledge with relevance for society, education, and policy in Finland and beyond.

The two positions are distributed across the project’s two home units: one at CALS and one at the Department of Language and Communication Studies. The successful candidates will join an international and multidisciplinary research environment focused on applied language studies, open science, and responsible research practices.

Selected researchers will design and conduct research in one or more LADiTS thematic areas, apply advanced methods to collect and analyse data, contribute to interdisciplinary collaboration across language studies, education, communication, migration studies, and technology, and communicate findings through publications, conferences, teaching, supervision, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative research initiatives.

The project emphasises socially relevant research on how changing linguistic environments affect individuals and communities, combining perspectives on language, multilingualism, participation, and technology within a supportive academic setting at the University of Jyväskylä.

Funding details

Fixed-term postdoctoral research positions funded by the Research Council of Finland through the LADiTS project; salary approximately 3700-4000 €/month gross, plus holiday bonus.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, languages, linguistics, communication, language education, or another relevant discipline, and the PhD must be completed before the starting date. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in at least one LADiTS core theme such as multilingualism in communities and technology-driven societies, epistemic and social justice, multilingual education, or education through the medium of an additional language. Strong methodological skills are required, including qualitative and discourse-analytical methods, idiodynamic methods, participatory methods, surveys, or mixed methods. Applicants should have a record of productive and innovative research shown by peer-reviewed publications, excellent written and oral communication skills in English and another language, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team.

How to apply
