<< apologies for cross-posting >> The Department of Communication and Information Sciences and the Center for Language and Cognition at the University of Groningen seek applicants for two new permanent positions, one at associate- and one at assistant-professor level (UHD and UD in the Dutch system). Preferred specializations: intercultural/organizational communication and computer-mediated communication. Deadline for applications: 15 September 2004 (electronic submission is possible). Education and research in Communication Studies at the University of Groningen focus on communication within the context of society (institutions and media), which is studied from a discourse perspective. Within the educational program the discourse profile is realized in three specializations within the MA program: Language, Culture, and Organization (organizational communication, intercultural communication), Language, Image, and Sound (multimodal communication, semiotics, critical discourse analysis) and Computer-Mediated Communication (communication with and by means of computers, computational models). Extra academic staff is needed especially in the domains of Language, Culture, and Organization and Computer-Mediated Communication. We are therefore looking for enthusiastic candidates who have an outstanding academic reputation in the field of internal, external, or intercultural organizational communication or in the field of digital communication, such as websites, e-mail, computer-supported cooperative work, and natural language dialog systems. For the associate-level (UHD) appointment, a strong research program and grant procurement potential are essential. A document outlining the positioning of and requirements for the UHD position is available at http://www.let.rug.nl/~redeker/uhd-commstudies.pdf For further details about the two positions and the application procedure, please see our ads at http://www.academictransfer.org/org/vacancies/browse.cfm?Adm_PIN=00347 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
