Description:

The Faculty of Modern Languages at Heidelberg University, Germany, and the

Information Society in Ibero-America” to be filled as soon as possible. The
appointment is initially for four years. After a positive evaluation, an
extension for a further two years is planned. Provided that the general
conditions laid down in civil service and budgetary law are met, the
successful candidate can be appointed as a temporary civil servant.

The junior professorship is based at the Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American
Studies (HCIAS) and affiliated with the Faculty of Modern Languages. The HCIAS
is a central research and teaching institution at Heidelberg University, at
which Ibero-America-related research by different university colleges
(faculties) converges, offering a unique range of expertise to address
interdisciplinary issues concerning this region.

The selected candidate is expected to teach and pursue research in the field
of communication studies, with a specialization in the area of Latin America.
More especially, he/she is expected to carry out individual and cooperative
teaching and research activities focused on the development of the information
society, on the media and social networks and on the social and cultural
effects of communicative interaction, both in Latin America and in more global
contexts related to this region.

The successful candidate will also share the rights and duties of the Faculty
of Modern Languages (academic self-governance, teaching, examinations). S/he
will teach in the B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. programs of the HCIAS and the
Institute of Translation Studies at the Faculty of Modern Languages. The
teaching load is two courses per semester before, and three courses per
semester after, successful evaluation. The evaluation regulations can be
accessed through the Human Resources Division of Heidelberg University.

Requirements:
In accordance with section 51 Landeshochschulgesetz Baden-Württemberg (the
Baden-Württemberg State Higher Education Act), the successful candidate is
expected to have an excellent Ph.D. or doctorate in communication studies,
media research or a closely related field, teaching experience and teaching
skills in English, as well as an excellent publication and promising research
record in the relevant field(s). Profound knowledge of Spanish and/or
Portuguese as well as of German is an asset.

For applicants who have held academic positions in Germany before or after
their doctorate, doctoral and pre-/post-doctoral employment phases together
should not exceed six years.

Heidelberg University seeks to increase the number of women in positions in
which they are underrepresented. Qualified female academics are especially
invited to apply. Preference will be given to disabled applicants who are
otherwise equally qualified for the position.

Applications will consist of:
- A CV, including a list of relevant publications;
- A list of courses taught and teaching evaluations (where available);
- Certificates and diplomas;
- Two letters of recommendation;
- A representative example of research; and
- Statements on teaching and research objectives.
