[Commlist] professor of Communication Sciences with Specialisation in Digital Media and Computational Methods

The Department of Communication (IfK) in the Faculty of Educational and 
Social Science
(FB 6) of the University of Münster (WWU), Germany, seeks to appoint a

     Professor (W1 – tenure track) of Communication Sciences
     with Specialisation in Digital Media and Computational Methods

at the earliest possible date.

The selected candidate shall represent the entire spectrum of research 
and teaching activities in the subject area of communication sciences. 
The primary focus of this assistant professorship is computer-aided 
methods of communication science and especially the development and 
application of methods for collecting, analysing and presenting 
communication scientific processes by means of large datasets. These 
methods include computer-aided content analyses, network analyses, 
machine learning, data simulation and other processes of analysis and 
modelling based on digital behavioural patterns. In addition to 
methodical knowledge, the candidate should have expertise in a 
communication scientific field which corresponds to the programmes 
offered by the Department of Communication (IfK) and contributes to the 
theoretical and empirical analysis of the requirements, characteristics 
and effects of digitalised public spheres.

We expect the candidate to demonstrate a high degree of personal 
commitment to teaching courses in the bachelor’s and master’s degree 
programmes and to be able to hold courses in German and English. In 
addition to the relevant academic qualifications, the candidate should 
have experience in teaching and administering examinations and should 
participate in the research activities of the IfK. Although prior 
experience with acquiring external funding and implementing third-party 
projects would be welcome, it is not a prerequisite for this position. 
Active participation in research projects at the IfK on digitalised 
public spheres is desired.

To be considered for this position, the candidate should hold a 
university degree, didactic aptitude and exceptional academic ability, 
substantiated by the quality of his/her doctoral degree.

The University of Münster is an equal opportunity employer and is 
committed to increasing the proportion of senior women academics. 
Consequently, we actively encourage applications by women. Female 
candidates with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will 
be preferentially considered within the framework of the legal 
possibilities. The University of Münster is committed to employing more 
staff with disabilities. Candidates with recognised severe disabilities 
who have equivalent qualifications are given preference in hiring decisions.

Please send your application together with your CV, certificates, list 
of publications and list of given courses no later than 25 October 2020 
via email to: (dek.fb06 /at/ uni-muenster.de)

Dean of the Faculty 06, - Educational and Social Science – of the
