Offer Description

Digitalisation is leading to far-reaching changes – also in the field of law. Against this background, the professorship focuses on the interdisciplinary analysis and research of innovation-led concepts in private law, including in particular European and international regulations on issues of digitalisation and digitalisation development. In addition to legal qualifications, fundamental knowledge of the economic and socio-technological foundations of digitalisation is required. This professorship should therefore also contribute to the “Smart Regulation” field of excellence in particular. It should play a leading role in identifying relevant topics and issues – based on Austrian private law in the broader sense. The establishment and continuation of existing interdisciplinary and international cooperation partnerships are particularly preferred. Attracting competitive national and international third-party funding is a prerequisite. The active and innovative design of teaching – with a focus on digitalisation/digitalisation development – is required, as is participation in doctoral programmes. We also expect gender mainstreaming skills.
