in research and teaching. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany's leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines.

Programmatically, the candidate's research should focus in particular on literary, poetological, or media-aesthetic forms of reflection as well as on the historical derivation of the relationship between nature and culture, between ecology and economy, or between living beings, technical objects, and hybrids. The main research areas of the professorship should be Poetics of the Anthropocene, Cultures of Knowledge, and Comparative Media Studies.
