RADBOUD UNIVERSITY
Faculty of Social Sciences
Professor of Communication Science
We are seeking a colleague who will extend or complement our existing areas of research and teaching in communication science, especially the domain of news and information. Candidates at the Associate Professor level who are ready for the next step in their career are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a background in domains other, or broader, than news and information are also encouraged to apply.
Your main responsibility will be to consolidate the domain of mediated news and information transfer in research and in teaching. Positioned within the program of Communication Science, this domain focuses on the production and content and, particularly, the reception of news and information. The leading question is how government, news organizations and other institutions can inform citizens in today’s media environment where information is around us, everywhere and all the time, and where the role of media users and their social networks is increasingly important.
Communication Science is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences, which is one of the largest faculties at Radboud University. The faculty’s ambition is to become one of the top social science institutes in Europe, providing high-quality research and study programs that rank among the best in the Netherlands.
