The position is for a period of 2 years. We are looking for an ambitious and self-motivated colleague to join us in MediaFutures: Research Centre for Responsible Media Technology & Innovation.
MediaFutures is a new centre for research-based innovation at the Department for information science and media studies, University of Bergen, and located at Media City Bergen. The centre is a part of the Norwegian Research Council’s Research-based Innovation scheme. MediaFutures is in cooperation with industry partners from news media and media technology research topics like media experiences, recommender technology, content production and analysis, content interaction and availability, and Norwegian language technology. The goal is to develop responsible technological solutions to societal challenges like AI, fake news, echo chambers and political polarization. The results will be new digital tools, analysis methods and content types for the future of media. The center will also perform research training within media technology and innovation. This will create outputs such as new patents, prototypes, research articles and software, as well as innovative start-up companies.

This position will be part of Work Package 2, User Modelling, Personalisation & Engagement at MediaFutures, focused on the development of novel user modeling and personalisation techniques capable of effectively eliciting user preferences in order to enhance the user experience when interacting with media content while at the same time taking into account important competing factors such as business values, editorial norms, professional ethics, societal values, individual values, and algorithmic fairness.
The research questions we are interested in pursuing in this work package are: To what extent can we effectively, innovatively, and responsibly model online user behaviour and predict their future behaviour? To what extent can we personalise and engage users online to efficiently keep them informed, and at the same time do this responsibly?
The work will include conducting literature studies, surveys, and using the gained knowledge to develop user models, personalization and engagement technology. Research will be conducted by developing models or interfaces and performing simulation studies using qualitative and/or quantitative methods. Furthermore, the candidate will perform user studies to evaluate the technology developed employing statistical methods and will perform field tests with the industry partners to evaluate the technology’s impact.
The work will be performed in close collaboration with the industry partners in the centre. Expected outputs of the work include publication of high-impact papers, demos with code repositories and novel types of data and insights, e.g., in the form of reports both for academia and industry partners in the centre.
The candidate will be supervised by the work package leadership and will carry out secondments at industry partners in MediaFutures.
The personal manager of this position is the centre director at MediaFutures.
The position shall start work no later than the 1st of June 2025.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview.

About the positionThe Department of Plant Science, Faculty of Biosciences at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has a vacant three-year PhD–position related to plant photobiology.The PhD project is closely associated with the FlexiFarm project: “Flexible Farming Solutions to Minimize Energy Expenditure and Create New Revenue Streams in Vertical Farming”. The project aims to understand the energy flexibility of vertical farms (VFs) by studying how fluctuating lighting and temperature affect productivity. By following spot market prices and using energy when prices are low, VFs can drastically reduce their energy costs, though this is only viable if crop yield is not affected by fluctuating conditions. As photosynthesis is such a crucial factor underlying crop yield in both ope...
