Your future position is at the Vienna Media Change and Innovation (VMCI) Lab at the Department of Communication, a sub-unit of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Vienna. The VMCI Lab studies, how changes in the media environment and novel technologies affect the individual, social relationships, and society as a whole. Current research in our group focuses on media socialization, political engagement, bias and stereotypes, as well as digital media literacy in the changing media environment with a particular focus on media use and effects across the life-span. Integrating theoretical perspectives from communication science, social and developmental psychology, sociology and political science, we study these pressing questions using quantitative, qualitative and computational methods. In doing so, we strive to generate knowledge that both advances the scholarly debate and is relevant for society and practice.

The postdoctoral researchers will work closely with Univ.Prof. Desirée Schmuck and other members in the research group. Expertise in one or more of the following areas is required: 1) uses and effects of digital technology and artificial intelligence among youth, 2) threats to online discourses, information acquisition and intergroup relations (e.g., mis

The position is limited to 6 years and is planned to be filled from 01.07.2024.
