The University of Vienna is a cosmopolitan hub for more than 11,000 employees, of whom around 7,700 work in research and teaching. They want to do research and teach at a place that suits their ideas and work together towards answering the big questions of the future. You also appreciate the exchange between disciplines, cultures and generations? We are looking for an University Assistant Predoc at the Department of Communication 49 Faculty of Social Sciences Startdate: 01.06.2026 | Working hours: 30 | Collective bargaining agreement: §48 VwGr.

They see themselves as personalities who need space for continuous striving for top international research and scientific excellence. At the same time they enjoy support and liberties that are not a given at other institutions. Your personal sphere of influence The University of Vienna Research Platform ‘Trustworthy Science Communication’ announces a PhD position at the Department of Communication. Members of the research platform will conduct science communication research with a specific focus on the question of trust in science. This research will be interdisciplinary, and led by researchers in Communication Science, Computer Science, Psychology, and Science and Technology Studies. Together, we will examine public trust in science through cutting-edge research on science communication. Our research will be built on the understanding that public trust in science is complex, shaped by perceptions of trustworthiness, communication practices, and shifting social and political contexts. Trust cannot be assumed or manufactured; it must be earned through consistent integrity, transparency, and responsiveness. Because political developments, media narratives, and societal change continually challenge the relationship between science and the public, trust must be actively maintained. Addressing this challenge requires an interdisciplinary approach, as trust in science is conceptualized differently across fields. By integrating these perspectives, this platform aims to advance research on the foundations and practice of trustworthy science communication. Applicants should be able to demonstrate interest in or experience with public science communication, the capacity to carry out interdisciplinary research, and the research skills necessary to complete a PhD. The successful candidate for this position will be employed by the University of Vienna and their research project will be supervised by an interdisciplinary supervisory team from the University of Vienna.

Your future tasks You actively participate in research, teaching & administration, which means: Conduct science communication research focusing on how mediated communication and public discourse shape trust in science; we in particular aim to examine the political dimensions of science communication, including how political actors use scientific knowledge to legitimize ideas and how science communication is entangled with broader information challenges such as mis- and disinformation and societal polarization. We expect you to join the Vienna Doctoral School of Social Sciences and conclude a doctoral thesis agreement within 12 months. You work on your dissertation and its completion. You hold courses and examinations independently and (co-)supervise students within the scope of the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement.
