*Call for a funded PhD position at INTERACT, University of Oulu*



We are looking for a person interested in a PhD position for conducting
interdisciplinary research combining child-computer interaction,
creative/arts-based practices and critical education. The research will be
conducted in the context of the Academy of Finland funded research project
“Critical DataLit: Cultivating justice-oriented data literacies among GenZ”
(Critical DataLit). The ideal candidate has a critical understanding of
technology and making/digital fabrication/prototyping skills. We are
looking for bold and creative thinkers willing to embrace participatory
design with children and diverse stakeholders to develop a social
justice-oriented approach to data literacy using creative practices.
Research duties include reviewing relevant literature, collecting empirical
data through working with stakeholders (schoolchildren, teachers, activity
organizers, and other relevant actors), analyzing the data with help of
theoretical frameworks, and writing academic conference and journal
publications. The position also includes some teaching duties. Finnish
skills are desirable, but not a must. The position requires moving to Oulu
(Finland).
