This is a newly created Professorship for research and teaching in the 
field of ethnographic media studies in its combination with theory 
formation in cultural anthropology. Results of such research will 
enhance the methodologies of qualitative media studies as well as the 
localised study of global interconnections in order to productively 
contribute to connected research areas and teaching in the field.

Successful applicants for this position are expected to have made 
excellent contributions in theory formation of cultural anthropology as 
well as in the area of qualitative (especially ethnographic) methods in 
international media ethnology research.

Ideally, the successful applicant will engage in the implementation of a

Media“ at the University of Siegen. The successful applicant is expected 
to actively contribute to the Special Research Project „Media of 
Cooperation“.

The successful applicant should have a proven track record of research, 
focussing on at least two of the following areas: visual anthropology, 
ethnomusicology, anthropology of religion, gender research, non-European 
regional expertise. Expertise in any of the areas mentioned above can be 
proven through research with either a contemporary or a 
cultural-historical focus.

Work in the respective areas should be informed by a strongly 
international and comparative research activity throughout, as well as 
by a thorough competence in methodologies that enable interdisciplinarity.

The successful applicant is expected to be willing to establish a 
teaching programme in methods of ethnographic media research for the 
degree programmes in cultural and media studies at the University of 
Siegen as well as to collaborate with other departments, not only at the 
Faculty of Arts, but also across relevant research areas within Faculty 
II and III. The teaching commitment of the advertised post is 9 hours 
per week.

Furthermore, the successful applicant is expected to hold relevant 
qualifications in didactics in tertiary education as well as to be an 
experienced university teacher. Additionally, we expect the successful 
applicant to be experienced with international and interdisciplinary 
research co-operations, as well as regarding the successful acquisition 
of research funds and the undertaking of research projects supported by 
third-party funds.

Apart from the general legal requirements for employment, the successful 
candidate should: hold a degree from an accredited university, have a 
proven record of academic work (usually demonstrated by the successful 
and excellent completion of a PhD), demonstrate additional academic 
achievements that will be exclusively and thoroughly assessed during the 
appointment process, have acquired extensive teaching experience and a 
proven didactic competence. Additional academic achievements can be 
demonstrated in the form of a previous appointment as Junior Professor, 
the successful completion of a Habilitation (venia docendi) or 
equivalent international qualification, or via previous employment as 
Assistant Professor, Research Associate, Lecturer, or equivalent 
international position at a university or a research institute outside 
of academia, or any other activity in academic research and teaching.

We expect the successful applicant to actively engage in the development 
of new research networks as well as her active and constructive 
participation in the university's academic administration.

The University of Siegen aims to increase the number of women in 
research and teaching and, thus, explicitly encourages applications from 
qualified female academics.

Furthermore, we encourage applications from qualified academics with 
disabilities.
