fixed-term employment for 4 years*

position to be filled as of 01.11.2022

The position is affiliated with the newly appointed Professorship for Digital Societies and the Department of Sociology at the University of Graz. At the core of the research activities of the Digital Societies research group is the increasing societal relevance of digital data and algorithmic systems for processes of decision making, representation, sense making, and resource distribution. This transformation has fuelled utopian visions about open and transparent societies that strengthen grassroots movements and democratic processes.

Central to the research is the question of how we can create more inclusive and participatory digital futures. Theoretically and conceptually, this research is situated in Critical Data Studies and Critical Algorithm Studies, feminist STS and new materialism. The teaching responsibilities of the research group cover courses in Sociology and Computational Social Systems.
