Job
In the DFG funded Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio (SFB) 294 "Structural Change of Property", a cooperation between the Universities of Jena und Erfurt, we seek to fill the position of a PhD student in the subproject “(Media)Property in the Digital Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere“, located at the University of Jena, Institute for Sociology, at the earliest possible date. We offer a part-time position (65% of a full-time job, paid in accordance to the collective agreement TV-L 13) offered as a fix-term position until 31th of December 2028. The project team led by Dr. Sebastian Sevignani focuses on questions of the political-economic disposition of media and property as conditions for political participation in the context of the (digital) structural transformation of the public sphere. In the context of theoretical discussion, we ask about the role of ownership in (critical) theories of the public sphere and empirically examine the effects of large digital companies‘ strategies on different media systems.
