Research description: Are you interested in working with research in Media and Communication, with the support of competent and friendly colleagues in an international environment? Are you looking for an employer that invests in sustainable employeeship and offers safe, favourable working conditions? We welcome you to apply for a position as PhD student in Media and communication studies at Uppsala University. The Department of Informatics and Media has a broad research profile grounded in contemporary research fields, including information systems, interaction design, and media and communication. Within the discipline of Media and Communication Studies , research focuses on various forms of communication and media in both global and local contexts. The work within the research environment is connected through a deeply interdisciplinary and critical approach, employing both qualitative and quantitative methods. We study media and communication as fundamental to understanding contemporary social change as well as to defining the conditions and challenges of human coexistence. Duties: The position is a fully funded doctoral studentship in Media and Communication Studies at the Department of Informatics and Media. Doctoral education comprises four years of full-time study. The doctoral candidate is expected to devote the main part of their working time to doctoral education (see project description below) and to actively participate in the department’s seminar activities, workshops, conferences, and similar events. Other duties, such as teaching and research administration – in English and/or Swedish – may also be included as part of the employment (up to a maximum of 20%). The doctoral student will join the project AI Confidential: Emerging Forms of AI Chatbot Use for Emotional Support and Personal Well-being Among Young Swedes , funded by the Swedish Research Council (Grant No. 2026-00497). The project explores how young people (aged 15–18) interpret and relate to AI as a conversational partner in personal areas of life, as well as the opportunities and challenges that traditional healthcare providers experience in relation to this development. The doctoral student is expected to plan and conduct empirical studies within the project, drawing on an existing collaboration with the Youth Guidance Centres in Sweden’s Västmanland Region and working in close collaboration with the research team. The project is led by ［会员专属信息］ (PI), Media and Communication Studies, and Lina Eklund (co-PI), Human-Computer Interaction; both have research profiles in critical digital media studies and everyday automation.
