Job advertisement for student or research assistant (f/m/*)

35/40 hours per month

The International Centre for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities (IZEW) is looking for a
Student assistant (f/m/*)
(35/40 hours per month)

At the earliest possible date we are looking for the support of various research projects within the
department of Society, Culture and Technological Change (SCRATCH). The research projects cover
a wide range of topics spanning from discourses on technology ethics, media ethics, privacy, debates
on disaster management, questions of children's rights regarding the safety of children online, the
analysis of (semi-)technical security practices to the interdisciplinary analysis of populist
developments in representative democracies. We seek support with:
- Research on current topics dealt with in SCRATCH
- Transcribing interviews (we therefore strongly encourage native speakers to apply)
- Word processing and text formatting
- The organisation of events
- Reference management
- Ad hoc tasks (i.e. copying, scanning literature)
Students applying for the position are studying, e.g., at the Departments of Philosophy, Political
Science, Sociology, Media studies, other social sciences or English/American Studies
(Bachelors/Masters/Staatsexamen). We expect the ability to work in a team, communication skills and
an inherent interest in ethical approaches. Basic knowledge in ethics is desirable, as well as the
willingness to familiarize yourself with these topics. The work at the IZEW is primarily conducted in
German, whereby basic knowledge in German or the willingness to deepen your knowledge of the
language are an asset. We still encourage native speakers to apply.
We are looking forward to receiving your application including a short cover letter and your CV – via
e-mail – by 23rd July 2023. Please send your files to:
