[Commlist] 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 ((bewerbungen /at/ philosophie.uni-tuebingen.de) 
<mailto:(bewerbungen /at/ philosophie.uni-tuebingen.de)>)

Enquiries may also be directed to the Dean.
