We at the Department for E-Governance and Administration
( http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/en/department/gpa/index.php) are a
vibrant interdisciplinary research team
( http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/en/department/gpa/team/index.php) , always
looking for dedicated new colleagues. As a national and international
renowned research partner we deliver solutions in the domains of
eGovernment, eParticipation, policy development and ICT for public
administrations.
We aim at enlarging our team with highly-motivated new full time
researcher colleagues with a focus on social sciences, political
science, communication science or computer/information science,
presumably for a non-tenured position of 3 years (pre-doc or post-doc).
In the mid term we are looking for
one technically oriented position, ideally with a CS background, and
one position with a focus on science, society and/or communication in
public administration.

Update
from:TayandYou March 23-24: 0 Tweets available
TayandYou March 23-24 (not from @TayandYou, but which mention
TayandYou):
~122,000 Tweets.
I suppose the folks at Microsoft decided to delete everything on that
somewhat misguided experiment...
