Dear colleagues,
<br>It seems that these two postdoc positions have not been advertised on this
<br>mailing list yet (not to be confused with similar
<br>
<br>sounding
<br>
<br>openings at
<br>MCTS; for an overview see the RSS feed for job postings
<br>).
<br>
<br>The deadline has been extended until *15 July*. Please apply as soon as you
<br>can, if you are interested, and circulate widely!
<br>
<br>Best,
<br>Alex
<br>Researcher Positions at the MCTS (Akademische Ratsstellen)
<br>
<br>*15.07.2018*
<br>------------------------------
<br>
<br>The Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) at the Technical
<br>University of Munich is now seeking two post-doctoral researchers for the
<br>following part-time or full-time positions, available immediately and
<br>funded for one year (with an option for extension until 2022):
<br>Akademische Rätinnen/Akademische Räte a. Z. (A13)
<br>
<br>*About us *
<br>The Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) is a cross-faculty
<br>integrative research center dedicated to understanding and reflexively
<br>shaping the multiple interactions between science, technology and society.
<br>By ad-dressing the pressing challenges of technoscientific developments,
<br>the MCTS engages in interdisciplinary re-search, teaching and dialogue. It
<br>does so by initiating conversations and collaborations between the social
<br>sci-ences, humanities, natural sciences, and engineering.
<br>
<br>*Requirements *
<br>Applicants are expected to hold a doctoral degree. Ideally, they are
<br>qualified in both the social sciences or human-ities as well as a STEM
<br>field. Knowledge and skills in the field of Science and Technology Studies,
<br>especially with regard to issues of responsibility, are beneficial.
<br>Furthermore, applicants should be motivated to teach and work
<br>self-dependently and actively participate in the discourses at the MCTS.
<br>This job advertisement is aimed at quali-fied candidates currently working
<br>at natural science / technical TUM departments as well as external
<br>candidates committed to promoting interdisciplinary communication and
<br>cooperation between the MCTS and other TUM facul-ties.
<br>
<br>*Job profile *
<br>The master’s program “Responsibility in Science, Engineering and
<br>Technology” (M.A. RESET) offered by the MCTS addresses both the technical
<br>and social aspects of responsibility in today’s highly technologized
<br>societies. It provides students with knowledge in STEM fields and trains
<br>them to systematically analyze questions of responsibility regarding the
<br>social, political, ethical and environmental impacts of science and
<br>technology. The primary task of the advertised position is to foster this
<br>mission by developing innovative teaching formats in collaboration with
<br>other TUM de-partments.
<br>
<br>*We offer *
<br>The MCTS offers an excellent and inspiring international research
<br>environment in which researchers can refine and consolidate their profile.
<br>It provides many forms of dialogue both with the scientific community as
<br>well as the general public and gives researchers access to various
<br>promising career pathways. The position includes the pos-sibility to
<br>qualify as a postdoctoral lecturer (habilitation or habilitation-equivalent
<br>achievement), the traditional route to obtaining a professorship in
<br>Germany. Part-time employment is possible. The university is committed to
<br>raising the number of women in research and teaching. Female researchers
<br>are especially encouraged to apply. Appli-cants with disabilities are
<br>treated with preference given comparable qualification.
<br>
<br>*Application *
<br>Applications should be submitted as one single pdf document including a
<br>letter of motivation, CV, certificates and a draft for a potential seminar.
<br>
<br>*Application deadline: 15 July 2018*
<br>Please e-mail your complete application to: bewerbung@mcts.tum.de.
<br>If you have specific questions about the application procedure, please
<br>contact bewerbung@mcts.tum.de.
