Three researchers appointed to talent programme
Three researchers set to become part of the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences’ talent track for young researchers.
This year, three researchers at the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences will be part of the Faculty’s Talent Track programme, which supports some of the Faculty’s ambitious young researchers in pursuing visionary research ideas.
The new fellows are Assistant Professor Cosmo Strozza from The Interdisciplinary Centre on Population Dynamics; Postdoc Sofie Rose from the Department of Political Science and Public Management; and Postdoc Lynge Asbjørn Møller from the Digital Democracy Centre.
What they have in common is that they have distinguished themselves through top-level research and have the potential to make a significant impact on their field.
- The new fellows are working on some of the major challenges facing our society. They have the potential to make groundbreaking contributions to research that not only strengthen their own careers and the research environment at the Faculty but also benefit society as a whole. I look forward to seeing where their work leads, says Kristin B. Munksgaard, Vice-Dean at the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences.
When the world changes, research keeps pace
The researchers will tackle topics such as demography and inequality - war and gender - journalism and AI - a broad field with great topicality and relevance.
Cosmo Strozza is interested in health and survival patterns among ageing populations. A central question in his research is inequality and whether we can reduce health inequality so that improvements in population health and longevity are distributed more fairly across social groups.
Sofie Rose explores how modern warfare shape gender and social structures. Currently, she focuses on the war in Ukraine and the men who choose to flee instead of fight, examining how militarisation and shifting norms of masculinity affect both individual lives and social cohesion during and after war.
Lynge Asbjørn Møller is interested in the intersection between journalism and technology. He explores how AI is changing the basics of journalism, and he is particularly interested in what happens to editorial authority when AI systems are involved in producing news and algorithms play a role in determining what news we encounter.
More about the Talent Track
As part of the Talent Track, Cosmo Strozza, Sofie Rose and Lynge Asbjørn Møller will have an individual career plan tailored to them. They will also receive funding for courses, travel and other activities to further their research.
In addition, they will join an intra-faculty forum at SAMF, where they can network, discuss research questions and share experiences with each other.
The Talent Track was launched in 2021 and this is the sixth time new fellows have been admitted to the programme, which now includes 21 researchers.
