Description:

We are looking for an associate professor in one of the relevant domains

goals:

-First, to expand the curriculum of the Communication and Information
Sciences program, in particular in the area of Business Communication and
Digital Media. The successful candidate is expected to add new, attractive
angles to the course offer, both in the Bachelor's program (e.g., with a
course on Mass Media in a Digital Age) and the (Research) Master's program.
Our main preference is for an emphasis on how new media bring about changes
in the way people create social contexts (twitter, blog, facebook, hyves,
linkedIn, etc.) and how they fulfil their roles in society (as consumers,
citizens, patients, etc.)
-Secondly, to add more weight to the research on the social aspects of new
media within the Communication and Cognition research programme, with an
emphasis on a particular societal and scientific perspective (marketing,
consumer behaviour, health communication, etc.) and in collaboration with
the members of the research programme Communication and Cognition who are
active in this area already (commercial communication, socio-psychological
aspects of communication, the study of computer mediation in collaborative
learning and negotiations, etc.). 

TASKS
-Teaching and developing courses (in Dutch or English) in the Bachelor's
and (Research) Master's programs of Communication and Information Sciences
(CIW), specialisation Business Communication and Digital Media
(www.tilburguniversity.nl/faculties/humanities/education/)
-Carrying out research in the Communication & Cognition research program.
(www.tilburguniversity.nl/faculties/humanities/cc2).
-Coordinating research projects and supervising research from colleagues.
-Developing initiatives ((joint) projects, co-operation) focusing on the
social aspects of new media and mediated communication.
-Setting up and supervising research by Bachelor's and Master's students.
-Carrying out managerial and organizational tasks, on the level of the
departement and the faculty.
-Acquisition of external research funds. 

REQUIREMENTS
-Candidates must hold a PhD in one of the following disciplines:
communication science, business communication, economic psychology, social
psychology, cognitive psychology, or another relevant discipline.
-Demonstrable expertise in and affinity with design, use, and evaluation
of new communicative modes, tools and techniques (linguistic or otherwise).
-Sound knowledge of and experience with quantitative methods and research
techniques, and statistical data analysis.
-A high degree of research experience, as evidenced through a significant
publication record in high-ranking (international) journals.
-Considerable record and experience in acquiring project grants, contract
research and (academic) management.
-Experience in developing and teaching Bachelor's and (Research) Master's
courses.
-Familiarity with new media as a means of communication, a didactic and a
research tool.
