<br>
<br>The Faculty of Linguistics, Cultures and Arts at Johann Wolfgang Goethe
<br>University Frankfurt am Main, Germany invites applications for the
<br>following position starting 1 October 2019:
<br>
<br>Professorship (W1, tenure track) in Digital Anthropology / Science and
<br>Technology Studies
<br>
<br>The initial tenure track appointment is for six years according to § 64
<br>of the Higher Education Act of the State of Hessen (HHG). The
<br>professorship is funded by the Bund-Länder-Programm zur Förderung des
<br>wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses (BLP). Upon positive evaluation, the
<br>incumbent will be promoted to a permanent position at a higher level
<br>(W2). Applications are invited from post-doctoral researchers in the
<br>early stages of their careers (according to § 64, para. 3 HHG the
<br>doctorate should not date back to more than four years).
<br>
<br>The professorship is assigned to the Institute of Cultural Anthropology
<br>and European Ethnology. Successful applicants are expected to contribute
<br>to establishing Science and Technology Studies (STS) at Goethe
<br>University and to foster interdisciplinary linkages within and beyond
<br>Goethe University by contributing to the development of
<br>multi-disciplinary research training groups as well as participation in
<br>other types of research cooperation.
<br>
<br>Qualified candidates hold a doctorate, PhD or equivalent in Science and
<br>Technology Studies, Anthropology or related fields. We are looking for
<br>candidates with published research in science and technology studies,
<br>anthropology of science and technology or adjacent areas, and with
<br>current or future research interests in the emergence of new
<br>socio-material practices in an interconnected world. Competitive
<br>candidates will demonstrate expertise in ethnographic research and be
<br>committed to contributing to recent debates on fieldwork epistemologies
<br>at the interface of STS and digital anthropology. They will be able to
<br>critically engage with the use of digital technologies in/for scholarly
<br>research and teaching, especially in the humanities and social sciences.
<br>
<br>The successful candidate will be expected to teach graduate courses and
<br>to engage in curriculum building in the English-language Master Program
<br>“Science and Technology Studies: Economies, Governance, Life” and to
<br>supervise graduate and postgraduate work in this field. Ability to also
<br>teach in the German-language Bachelor Program “Kulturanthropologie und
<br>Europäische Ethnologie” is an asset.
<br>
<br>The designated salary for the position is based on the German university
<br>pay scale or equivalent. Goethe University aims at increasing the
<br>proportion of female researchers and therefore encourages women to
<br>apply. Applications of researchers from abroad are explicitly requested.
<br>Disabled applicants with equal qualification and aptitude will be given
<br>preferential consideration. For further information regarding the
