W1 professorship with tenure track to W2 in Intercultural Communication with a Focus on Migration Studies

Job

The applicant (m/f/d) should have an excellent, relevant doctorate in the field of intercultural communication, in particular from a social or cultural science perspective or in related disciplines (e.g. sociology, political science, social or cultural geography). He/she should be able to represent the field of migration research/migration studies with a focus on intercultural communication in an outstanding manner, both in terms of expertise and methodology. The fundamental willingness to develop a second focus in the area of diversity and social diversification processes in research and teaching compatible with intercultural research is expected and is a prerequisite for the tenure track procedure. He/she/they should show potential for successful international publication activities as well as for highquality teaching in our Bachelor's degree programmes "Intercultural Business Communication" and "Intercultural Music and Event Management" as well as in the Master's degree programme "Intercultural Human Resources Development and Communication Management", including its international doubledegree variants. The language of instruction is primarily German. We also expect openness towards digital teaching concepts, experience with intercultural training and learning contexts, the supervision of students and doctoral candidates as well as experience abroad. Experience in acquiring third-party funding is an advantage. Experience with intercultural teaching/learning situations, visible networking in the national and international research community and a willingness to contribute to the development of interdisciplinary, empirically orientated research focuses in the future are also desired. Eligibility for the position requires a university degree, a pedagogical aptitude and a particular aptitude for academic work, usually demonstrated by an outstanding quality of a relevant doctorate. The total period of doctoral studies and employment should not have exceeded six years. The professorship is initially limited to four years. After a positive interim evaluation, it can be extended for a further two years. Subject to a further positive evaluation, appointment to a permanent W2 professorship will take place after six years without the post being re-advertised.
