“Sowing bad seeds? The effects of a provocative public-service campaign 
against childhood obesity in a digital media world“.



The project is part of a research cluster, dealing with obesity in 
childhood and adolescence. As part of this cluster we particularly 
research on effects of provocative prevention campaigns in digital 
media. We are focusing on media effects and media appropriation of these 
campaigns.



We are looking for a committed colleague who is interested in health 
communication and media effects research. You will also be expected to 
use the post for further qualification (PhD).

• Coordinative tasks (e.g. cooperation with partners)

• Willingness to further academic qualification (PhD)



You will need to be able to demonstrate sophisticated research and 
analytical skills. Substantial knowledge of multivariate statistical 
methods is essential; experience of empirical research would be 
preferable, especially in regard of experimental research designs. A 
high level of communication and organizational skills (English 
language), is required. Time-management and team-working skills are also 
essential. Profound knowledge of current statistics software (SPSS or 
R/RStudio) would be preferable.
