Scientific Profile Initially the successful candidate starts as an Assistant Professor with a qualification agreement for a fixed term tenure phase of six years. After successful completion of the qualification goals, the position will be converted into a permanent Associate Professor position.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the subject of literature and media didactics in its entirety. A clear focus on the research areas of “literary learning” and “intermediality” is expected. The professorship serves to establish a scientifically sound and research‑based curriculum in the field of literature and media didactics, with a focus on audiovisual and digital media. It combines a range of courses in literary studies with courses in literary didactics. It qualifies early‑stage academics and thus guarantees the professionalisation of academic teaching in this subject area. It also acts as a crucial interface between those involved in teacher education at the South‑East Development Network (EVSO) and the institution of “school”.
Employment Requirements
Austrian or equivalent foreign higher education degree corresponding with the position (doctorate/PhD) in the field of modern German‑language literature, or media and communications studies, or literature and media didactics
Outstanding academic qualifications in research and teaching in the relevant discipline and for the profile of the professorship (commensurate with stage of academic career and interruptions in employment due to caring responsibilities)
Several years of experience as post‑doc or in a similar position
Skills in attracting subject‑specific project grants
Skills in higher education didactics including the use of digital media
Gender mainstreaming and diversity management skills
Experience in national and international networking within the subject
Excellent knowledge of German and good knowledge of English
International experience in presenting papers and delivering lectures
Teaching experience in a school setting is preferred
Selection Criteria The successful candidate will be highly motivated, aiming for academic excellence and integrity in research and teaching. He/she will have demonstrated ability to collaborate constructively in a responsible manner and inspire colleagues and students in an interdisciplinary, internationally oriented context.
Equality Principle The University of Graz is committed to increasing the proportion of female employees, especially in leadership roles. We therefore encourage qualified female colleagues in particular to apply for this position. In case of equal qualifications, women will receive priority consideration.
