Job Ad: Professorship Media Studies University of Tübingen

The Faculty of Humanities at the University of Tübingen invites
applications for a position at the Institute of Media Studies as a



Full Professor (W3) of Media Studies with Specialization in Digitalization,
Society and Responsibility



to commence on 1 April 2020.



Candidates should demonstrate broad expertise in media and communication
studies with an explicit research focus on digitalization, society and
responsibility. Candidates are expected to engage a sociocultural
perspective in both their theoretical and methodological access, ideally
paired with a background in social science research. Ideal candidates bring
a research focus in at least two of the following areas: public sphere
theorizing and research; responsibility of media, organizations, and
corporations; media regulation in global media societies; diversity,
participation and democracy in digital media cultures; rights and ethics in
digitalization processes; datafication and society.



Moreover, candidates are expected to engage in interdisciplinary research
cooperations across the University. With the development of our new
Master’s program “Publics and Responsibility” in mind, ideal candidates
should demonstrate the integration of research and practical approaches in
the desired area.



Required qualifications include a PhD or equivalent international degree
and postdoctoral qualifications equivalent to the requirements for tenure.
This includes evidence of teaching effectiveness. Teaching experience in
relevant programs is desired.



This professorship is advertised as part of the German government’s
Professorinnenprogramm III, aimed at promoting women academics and
scientists. An appointment to the professorship is subject to the
availability of funding under the Professorinnenprogramm III.



The University of Tübingen is particularly interested in increasing the
share of women in research and teaching and therefore strongly encourages
women candidates to apply.



In line with its internationalization agenda, the university welcomes
applications from researchers outside Germany. Applications from equally
qualified candidates with disabilities will be given preference.



Applications (including a curriculum vitae, copies of degree certificates,
list of publications, list of classes taught) along with a selection of
personally authored works (all monographs and up to 5 published papers) are
to be sent by March 7, 2019, if possible in electronic form, to the Dean of
the Faculty of Humanities, Keplerstr. 2, 72074 Tübingen, Germany (
[email protected])


Enquiries may also be directed to the Dean.
