*Lecturer Position (Akademischer Rat, A13)*
<br>
<br>The Munich Center for Technology in Society (MCTS) at Technische
<br>Universität München is inviting applications for the following position:
<br>
<br>1 Lecturer Position (Akademischer Rat, A13)
<br>
<br>(the position is fixed-term until 30.09.2022 with the option of extension)
<br>
<br>The envisioned start date of employment is 11 February 2020.
<br>
<br>*About us*
<br>The MCTS is a cross-faculty integrative research center focusing on the
<br>interface between technology and society. Our research is empirical,
<br>interdisciplinary and reflexive. This involves a dialogue between
<br>philosophers, social scientists, architects, engineers and natural
<br>scientists in an attempt to explore mutual understanding and collaboration.
<br>
<br>*Requirements*
<br>Candidates must have completed their doctoral dissertation in the social
<br>sciences, preferably in the field of Science and Technology Studies
<br>(STS) or a related discipline. Applicants should ideally demonstrate a
<br>double qualification, including training in both the social and the
<br>natural sciences/engineering reflected in their university education.
<br>Candidates from the social sciences without such a dual qualification
<br>should demonstrate knowledgeability in one or more scientific or
<br>technical domains obtained through previous research. Knowledge and
<br>teaching experience in the field of STS, especially concerning issues of
<br>responsibility, are beneficial. Candidates are expected to participate
<br>in the MCTS community and to proactively build networks into other
<br>(scientific or technical) departments at TUM.
<br>
<br>*Your tasks*
<br>Your main task will be to help develop and grow the MCTS’ unique
<br>Master’s program „Responsibility in Science, Engineering and Technology“
<br>(M.A. RESET). Funded by the Elitenetzwerk Bayern, RESET aims to straddle
<br>disciplinary and institutional boundaries and to address increasingly
<br>important societal responsibilities in the context of science, emerging
<br>technologies, and innovation. Its innovative curriculum and
<br>interdisciplinary faculty convey the knowledge and tools necessary to
<br>understand and anticipate the consequences of established and emerging
<br>technologies, and to contribute to responsible research and innovation.
<br>Your primary task will be the advancement of this mission by
<br>implementing innovative educational formats, also in cooperation with
<br>STEM faculties of TUM. Besides teaching capacity in technology-specific
<br>questions of responsibility, RESET is particularly looking for teaching
<br>capacity in qualitative social science methods, academic skills, and the
<br>supervision of independent student projects.
<br>
<br>*We offer…*
<br>…an excellent and inspiring research environment in which early career
<br>researchers will refine and consolidate their profile as promising
<br>internationally recognized researchers. MCTS offers many forms of
<br>dialogue both with the scientific community as well as the general
<br>public. Working within the MCTS you will gain inside experience of the
<br>academic world and have access to various promising career pathways. We
<br>are committed to raising the number of women in research and teaching.
<br>Female researchers are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants with
<br>disabilities are 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
<br>graduate course.
<br>Application deadline: 18 November 2019
<br>Please send us your complete application to bewerbung@mcts.tum.de.
<br>
<br>If you have specific questions about the application procedure, please
<br>contact bewerbung@mcts.tum.de.
