Call for Applications - Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2025-2026

The Center on Digital Culture and Society
(<https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/center-on-digital-culture-and-society>)
at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication
invites applications to fill one postdoctoral fellowship position for
the 2025-2026 academic year.  Applications are welcomed from scholars
who have received their Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in or after May
2022. The term of appointment is: August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026.

CDCS supports critical, interdisciplinary scholarship on digital culture,
technology, and society. CDCS aims to develop critical approaches to
digital cultural studies and create an intellectual community for
dialogue and collaboration among academics, citizens, and activists.

CDCS postdoctoral fellowships support research on all aspects of digital
culture and society which fall within CDCS’s broad mission. Fellows at
the CDCS pursue their own research but are expected to be in residence
and to be fully engaged in the life of the Center.

Fellows are provided a minimum stipend of $66,300, commensurate with
previous postdoctoral experience, a research fund of $3,000, individual
health insurance and dependent coverage, a workspace and a computer, and
library access. In addition, CDCS will cover $1000 in domestic
relocation expenses and $2000 if moving internationally. All
postdoctoral fellows must submit documentation to demonstrate
eligibility to work in the United States and provide either a notarized
copy of a diploma, or notarized statement from a registrar or University
official confirming completion of doctoral degree requirements. Non-US
citizens selected for this position will be required to apply for an
appropriate US visa.

To receive full consideration, applications should be received by
February 14, 2025. To apply, please send a C.V., a research statement,
a writing sample, a list of three references with contact information
as one pdf document to: cdcs at asc.upenn.edu
