The Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) gGmbH researches the political, economic, social, and cultural developments triggered by the internet and digitalization. As an interdisciplinary research institution, CAIS uses scientific methods to help shape a digital society in the interests of the people. The research programs at CAIS deal with the opportunities and challenges of digitalization in all its facets and contribute scientific findings to current social debates. A team of experienced and young researchers from various disciplines implements the research programs in Bochum and engages in dialogue with the public.

The CAIS strives to increase the diversity of our scientific community. We strongly encourage members of historically marginalized groups to apply, including, but not limited to: people of color, women*, LGBTQ+, and others. Applicants with impairments with essentially equal professional and personal qualifications will be given priority.

Applications should include a CV, all university transcripts, and a reading sample, e.g., from prior publications or a Master’s thesis. Please provide a letter of motivation of up to three pages in which you explain which research specialization you want to focus on and why you are the right candidate.

For full consideration, please submit all documents in electronic form (as PDF) by 31.01.2024 via the application button below, quoting the reference number B2024-AI-04.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Prof. Dr. Heuer.
