medicine and the natural sciences.

The primary tasks of the successful candidate include the representation 
of one or more special areas of media informatics in research and

interaction technologies or information visualization, but any other 
specializations, which complement and enhance the profile of the media

obtaining the doctoral degree, the entire duration of the period of 
employment and of the doctoral degree should not exceed six years.

The candidate is expected to participate in the Department's general

years. Pending a positive evaluation, the position may be extended by

various types of support, such as welcoming services and assistance for
