Assistant Professor of French International Business Communication (readvertisement)

The School of Communication and Culture at Aarhus University invites applications for the position of assistant professor of French international business communication based at the Department of German and Romance Languages.

The assistant professorship is a full-time, three-year fixed-term position, and subject to appropriate funding, there will be an opportunity to apply for a subsequent associate professorship. The position begins on 1 August 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The School of Communication and Culture is committed to diversity and encourages all qualified applicants to apply regardless of their personal background.

The position

The Department of German and Romance Languages has a significant international research and teaching profile in the study of the communicative aspects of business activities in an international context, ranging from the tactical level to the textual level at which texts and visual artefacts are composed and adapted.

We are looking for an applicant who can contribute to and strengthen the development of research and teaching profiles in international business communication in French. The successful applicant will be expected to teach on the department’s Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes related to international business communication in French, or similar.

In sum, we are looking for an innovative and dedicated applicant who will strengthen the research and teaching profiles of the department nationally and internationally as well as contributing to Aarhus University’s core activities in the areas of research, teaching and supervision, talent development and knowledge exchange.

Research

The Department of German and Romance Languages at Aarhus University has a pronounced and significant international profile and a robust research network.

We are looking for an applicant who will pursue research in international business communication in French and specifically in organisations’ communication with their stakeholders in connection with major organisational issues, including, for example, change communication, communication in the field of environmental and social governance, crisis communication, and communication related to organisational and product branding.

Given the strong technological developments in the field of international business communication, particularly in AI, language technology and new methods of research, it would be considered an advantage if the applicant could contribute to the integration of these technologies and methods in both research and teaching.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop research projects that result in peer-reviewed publications. The successful applicant will also be expected to participate in the research community at the department in terms of collaborative research projects with internal and external partners, as well as participating in applications for external research funding.

Teaching and supervision

The successful applicant will be expected to take part in the department’s teaching and supervision activities and to teach and supervise on the department’s Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, particularly the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes in international business communication in French, including courses such as organisational communication, change communication, and branding in a communicative perspective. The successful applicant will be expected to apply relevant digital tools and innovative teaching methods.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop supervision capabilities at both BA and MA levels.

Deadline: 16 December 2024
