New Lecturer Role Bridges Data and Strategic Corporate Communication

A new academic position is opening for a lecturer specialising in data-driven and strategic corporate communication. The role will cover teaching across bachelor's and master's programmes, with a focus on technical journalism, social data science, and innovation communication. Candidates must bring both theoretical expertise and practical experience in areas like PR, public affairs, and predictive communication intelligence.

The successful applicant will deliver lectures in English on strategic and data-driven corporate communication. Their teaching will span three key programmes: the bachelor's in Technical Journalism/Technical PR, the bachelor's in Social Data Science & Communication, and the master's in Innovation Communication. Responsibilities will also include designing new lectures, overseeing applied research projects, and evaluating student theses.

The position demands strong knowledge in empirical communication science, along with experience in data collection, monitoring, and predictive communication. Practical skills in corporate or organisational communication are essential, particularly in tech-related industries or research settings. Familiarity with gender aspects in innovation and technology development is considered an advantage.

Industry connections and research ties will be beneficial, as the role involves developing fresh teaching materials and study opportunities. While specific programme details vary, related projects—such as CO2-tracking apps with Porsche AG or AI-driven radio initiatives—highlight the practical focus of these courses. Previous collaborations at institutions like TH Mittelhessen and the University of Stuttgart suggest a blend of academic rigour and real-world application.

The lecturer will shape future courses in data-driven communication across multiple degree programmes. Their work will bridge theory and practice, preparing students for roles in tech, media, and research. Applications are expected from candidates with both academic expertise and hands-on experience in strategic communication fields.
