Science Communication and Science Journalism at CMC (Austrian Academy of Sciences and University of Klagenfurt)

Science Communication and Science Journalism are becoming an increasingly important field of public communication. CMC is therefore excited to share this call for a new position in this field.

We are looking for a highly qualified and internationally recognized scientist who is capable of representing the subject of comparative media and communication studies in teaching and research, with high engagement in developing and sustaining an ambitious and innovative research program. Candidates are expected to conduct cutting-edge research that should also be reflected in peer-reviewed third-party funding. They should have made seminal contributions to the fields of science communication and/or science journalism.

The Vienna-based Institute for Comparative Media and Communication Studies (CMC) was established in 2013, succeeding an OeAW Commission of the same name established in 1994. The experience and competence acquired over 30 years have made CMC a highly recognized institute in the area of research in politically relevant communication, and a sought-after partner in international projects. The partnership of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Klagenfurt in operating CMC is an excellent opportunity to focus on long-term basic research and follow Humboldtian ideals, bringing research findings directly into education as well as into public and political discourse, and giving support to a younger generation of researchers.
