Offer Description
The newly established professorship “Digitisation of Early Childhood Education” will build up an independent focus in research and be responsible for the subject of early childhood education as well as other aspects of educational science in teaching, together with the already established professorship “Early Childhood Education”. The research focus will be on aspects of digitisation in early childhood education. This includes, among other things, dealing with questions of a diverse and developmentally appropriate use of digital media in educational work or in interdisciplinary contexts (e.g., care, art) as well as a contemporary approach to working with families, taking into account current social challenges and socialisation conditions. Another focus is the diverse use of digital technologies within different qualification formats for (prospective) educators and their impact. This professorship also establishes and ensures a connection to the university’s digitisation strategy. International collaboration with experts in early childhood education forms an integral part of this position. The post holder is required to offer teaching in the bachelor’s programme of Education and Educational Sciences as well as the master’s programme of Early Childhood Education. Accordingly, sound practical knowledge in the field of early childhood education is preferred. We also expect gender mainstreaming skills.
