The professorship will be established as a joint assistant professorship 
between the University of Zurich (UZH) and Zurich University of the Arts 
(ZHdK). After six years and upon a successful evaluation, the 
professorship is to be made permanent.

The successful candidate's tasks include research and teaching in the 
field of digital cultures and arts in media cultural studies and 
practice. Teaching and research aim to analyze the possibilities and 
consequences of digital technologies in the production, reception and 
distribution of artistic, cultural and creative artifacts and processes 
and to further develop them through own and collective research and 
practice.

We are looking for a promising academic and/or artistically active 
candidate, preferably with international experience.

Candidates must hold a PhD degree at the time of application and other 
excellent academic achievements in the relevant field are required. 
Teaching may be carried out in English. Non-German speaking candidates 
are expected to acquire a working knowledge of German within the first 
three years of their appointment. The University of Zurich is an equal 
opportunities employer and in particular strives to increase the 
percentage of women in leading positions. Therefore, qualified female 
researchers are encouraged to apply.

The professorship serves as a bridge between the Faculty of Arts and 
Social Sciences, the Faculty of Theology (both UZH) and the ZHdK as part 
of the Digitalization Initiative of the Zurich Higher Education 
Institutions (DIZH). The professorship can thus actively use the 
cross-disciplinary networks of the DIZH, become part of the competence 
centre of the
Digital Society Initiative (DSI) and be affiliated with the Center for 
Arts and Cultural Theory (ZKK).

The closing date for applications is 1 March 2023. Details on the 
application procedure are available on the website of the Faculty of 
Arts and Social Sciences.
