Professorship in "Editorial Design"
F/M/D
until 2025-04-28
WHAT TO EXPECT
You will represent the subject area of communication design with a focus on editorial design, i.e. the conception and design of journalistic formats for transmedia, multimedia and hypermedia communication of information and knowledge.
You will operate in the field of tension between a concept of truth based on facts and scientific knowledge and the concept of fiction, which integrates narrative forms and symbolic communication.
Specifically, you will teach your students both the theory and practice of the range of journalistic formats and their meaningful strategic use for communication.
The question of how we can defend the liberal order against the threats and effects of disinformation, misinformation and counterfactual communication will be at the heart of your teaching and research.
You will also research and teach how designers in existing or future journalistic formats reach a wide range of audiences, successfully making information accessible and complexity understandable.
At the same time, you will continue to develop your teaching and research in recognition of the highly dynamic processes of change in technology and society.
YOUR BACKGROUND
