Job Title: PostDoc Position in Science Communication of Linguistics

Description:

The CRC 1646 is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and
investigates linguistic creativity in communication from a range of
different perspectives.

The offered PostDoc position is associated with the public relations
project of the CRC (project Ö). Project Ö will serve as a
communication hub for the CRC. The project's tasks go well beyond
common public relations work in a CRC due to the general public's
substantial involvement in the planned research programme via citizen
science activities and the planned research on science communication
itself. We aim to actively involve interested citizens in the design,
implementation, evaluation and results assessment of our projects
through various participation formats. Citizens participating in the
CRC's research will thus gain insights into linguistic research and
theorizing.

Your Tasks

This postdoctoral position is intended to advance research in the
field of science communication, with a particular focus on linguistic
citizen science. The postdoc's tasks include the activities listed
below:

Research (including evaluation and citizen science) (55 %):
 - scientific evaluation of science communication activities within
the CRC
 - consulting with PhD students to implement successful science
communication activities involving the public in the research
activities themselves
 - support the CRC's commitment to the promotion of research-based
science communication as well as the development of language-based
citizen science communication
Public relations (40 %):
 - close cooperation with the project's external partners (i.e. VHS,
WissensWerkstadt etc)
 - multimedia presentation of relevant CRC research topics
 - independent active and reactive media relations, including media
outreach, responding to media inquiries, drafting media releases, etc.
 - coordination of communication projects for the CRC's central
organizational units
 - the establishment and continuous development of the CRC's internal
communication
Academic self-administration, active participation in the SFB
organization (5 %)

Employment is conducive to further scientific qualification.

Your Profile

We expect:
 - relevant, successfully completed scientific university degree (for
example Master or Diploma)
 - doctoral degree (completed by employment date), in science
communication, science studies or related fields
 - professional experience in the described job profile
 - strong conceptual and strategic skills
 - good written and spoken English language skills
 - cooperative and team-oriented working style
 - the ability to take initiative and work independently
 - strong organizational and coordination skills, good communication
skills and good presentation skills
 - excellent knowledge of German (written and spoken)
 - gender and diversity competence

Preferred experience and skills:
 - experience in the coordination and scientific evaluation of
projects developed in and for science communication
 - professional experience in communications, ideally in university
communications; relevant professional cross-media expertise
 - experience with citizen science projects (preferably within the
humanities)
 - implementation of projects for and in the public sphere
 - implementation of workshops on science communication as well as
conceptual and editorial advice to the projects on communication
topics
 - experience in linguistic research
 - experience with website relaunches
 - interest in working in a larger research initiative and in
interdisciplinary research
