University or Organization: University of Zurich 
Department: Department of German Studies and Digital Society Initiative
Job Location: Zurich, Switzerland 
Web Address: https://www.dsi.uzh.ch/en.html
Job Title: Assistant Professorship: Communicating Digitalized Spaces
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 


Description:

The University of Zurich invites applications for an Assistant Professorship
in Communicating Digitalized Spaces.

The position should be filled at the earliest opportunity. The position is for
a six-year period pending review after the first three years.

The focus of the professorship is on the linguistic analysis of digital
communication and digitalized interactional spaces. The professorship is part
of German linguistics and deals with the complex transformation of the
interactional space of mutual perception («face-to-face») to a multimodal
digitalized communication space («screen-to-screen») with a special emphasis
on the linguistic manifestations of digitalized communication spaces. Possible
fields of research range from tele-presence communication (as, for instance,
in videoconferences) and the use of mobile digital devices (such as
smartphones) with physically present communicators to human-robot interaction.

Candidates should be qualified in linguistic research of digitalized
communication spaces and should also be able to deal with the
interdisciplinary aspects of the topic in research and teaching. Active
participation in the University Research Priority Program «Language and Space»
(UFSP SpuR) as well as active participation in the teaching and research
activities of the interfaculty «Digital Society Initiative» (DSI) are
expected. The assistant professorship is located at the Department of German
Studies and the DSI.

Candidates should hold a PhD degree in German linguistics or an adjacent
discipline completed at the time of application and have an excellent record
of academic achievements in the relevant field. The University of Zurich is an
equal opportunities employer and in particular strives to increase the number
of women in leading positions. Qualified female researchers are, therefore,
particularly encouraged to apply.

The closing date for applications is 26 June 2019. Details on the application
procedure are available at the application link provided below. For further
information please contact Prof. Heiko Hausendorf at the contact information
provided below.
