What is media technology?

Media Technology refers to the tools, software, and systems used to create, distribute, and manage various forms of media such as video, audio, graphics, and interactive content. Professionals in this field work with technologies like broadcasting equipment, digital editing software, streaming platforms, and multimedia production tools. Media Technology is essential for industries like television, film, online media, advertising, and education, ensuring that content is delivered efficiently and effectively to audiences.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in media technology?

To excel in Media Technology, you need a solid understanding of audio-visual systems, digital media production, and IT fundamentals, often supported by a degree in media technology, communications, or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard software like Adobe Creative Suite, video editing tools, and broadcasting systems is essential, and certifications such as AVIXA CTS can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and effective communication set top professionals apart in this fast-evolving field. These competencies are crucial for delivering high-quality media content and ensuring seamless technical operations in dynamic media environments.

How do professionals in media technology typically collaborate with creative and technical teams during a project?

Professionals in Media Technology often act as a bridge between creative teams (such as producers and designers) and technical teams (like developers and engineers). They translate creative visions into technical requirements, manage workflows, and ensure that media assets are delivered in the right formats and quality standards. Collaboration usually involves regular meetings, clear documentation, and the use of project management tools to track progress. This role requires strong communication skills and the ability to adapt to various project needs, making teamwork and flexibility essential.

Job Description Summary

The Penn Center for Media, Technology, and Democracy (Penn MEDIATED) works to advance the scientific understanding of the information ecosystem and leverage that research to strengthen the foundations of democracy.
Penn MEDIATED seeks a research analyst (RA) to assist with research, analysis, and writing on the information ecosystem and its impacts on democracy.
The RA will perform two roles. First, they will work to expand our research compendium, which compiles and translates University of Pennsylvania research on the quantitative study of the information ecosystem and its impact on democracy. Second, they will perform literature reviews, summarize empirical research, identify stakeholders, write brief analyses, and work with the Executive Director and the Communications and Research Manager to support writing analytical pieces, such as blog posts and research briefs.
The goal of the research compendium is to make Penn's rigorous academic work more accessible to the people who need it most: journalists, media executives, civil society organizations, and policymakers. The compendium draws from seven schools and centers-the Annenberg School for Communication, the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the Wharton School, SAS Political Science, SEAS Computer and Information Science, the School of Social Policy and Practice, and the Carey Law School-with an emphasis on empirical and quantitative work. We encourage applicants to carefully review our compendium webpage before applying to get a sense of the topical scope and the translation work involved.
This position is eligible for remote work.
To Apply: Please submit a cover letter and resume.
