The Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS) is a thriving and inspiring university in Austria, representing outstanding achievements in research and teaching in the areas of (digital) humanities, life sciences, sustainability of (social) processes and the link between art & science. With its four guiding principles, Art in Context, Development & Sustainability, Digital Life and Health & Mind, the PLUS offers scientists an excellent opportunity for interconnection on an inter- and transdisciplinary level.
The University of Salzburg invites applications for a tenured full Professorship in English Literature and Culture.
The position will become available in the Department of English and American Studies (Faculty of Arts and Humanities) as of 1 October 2025.
The prospective professor will be required to represent English Literature and Culture in research and teaching in its full scope. In addition, applicants are expected to have a main focus in one of the following fields: popular culture, media, or gender. Their teaching of English Literature and Culture (in B.A., M.A., teacher-training, and PhD programmes) is to take into account the historical and theoretical diversity of the subject and its plurality of approaches.
Successful applicants are expected to offer fresh research perspectives and to engage in cooperation with other sections of the Department of English and American Studies and with subjects represented in other university departments. Applicants are expected to establish connections between the research profiles of Department and the faculty at large, in particular with regard to approaches based on theories of culture, media, and performativity as well as current transcultural and digital humanities topics. The University of Salzburg (PLUS) welcomes active engagement in Science and Arts, an inter-university research focus area, as well as contributions to relevant doctoral colleges (‘Doctorate School PLUS’).
