fw: [rohrpost]: Humboldt-Universität - professor of Media Theory

[Claudia Westermann]

The Faculty of Arts III invites applications for a full professor of Media
Theory (Bes.Gr. C 4) in its new Media Studies program.
Code: PR/002/02
The new undergraduate and graduate program in Media Studies is located within
the Department of Cultural Studies and the Arts. The newly founded Seminar for
Media Studies consists of two full professors (C3/C4) as well as technical
capabilities (video and computer equipment, video library, studio stage,
institute library). The course program will be supplemented with
media-specific
courses in neighboring disciplines. The program aims to provide comprehensive
education in media competence for the highly technological conditions of
modern
society. Connections between media theory and the process of the historical
divergence of analog and digital media are as fundamental as the cultural
techniques of representation (pictures, letters, and numbers).
The successful applicant should have an extensive research and teaching
program
in historical and modern media theory, as well as in at least two media forms.
Familiarity with the history of technology is expected. The successful
applicant should be committed to the development of the major and be able to
make creative contributions to its organization and academic profile and to
its
integration into the Department of Cultural Studies and the Arts of the
Humboldt University and international research.
Administrative competence and an international reputation are expected.
The Humboldt University follows a non-discrimination policy. Applications from
women and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged.
To apply, please send a letter of application and the usual documents to:
Dekan
der Philosophischen Fakultät III, Prof. Dr. Hartmut Böhme,
Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, 10099 Berlin, Germany
