WANTED: Student assistant (m/f/d) with German and English Skills (start 1 June 2025)

Junior-Professor for "Political Struggles in the Global South" is looking for a new student assistant from 1 June 2025 to support the project “Re-Staging Climate Assemblies” (April 2025-March 2027) in collaboration with Sheffield University, UK.

​​Re-Staging Climate Assemblies is an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of arts, humanities and social science perspectives on climate change and innovations in deliberative democracy. Through ‘re-stagings’ of citizen climate assemblies co-designed with youth diaspora communities in Sheffield, UK and Tübingen, Germany, it will collectively assemble a body of stories, tools and resources for more inclusive and just climate politics. The project will address engagement with underrepresented citizens within climate assemblies, acknowledging diverse ways of knowing and modes of deliberation. It will explore the potential of participatory arts-based approaches, notably scenario-making, for innovating within democratic processes and catalyzing transformative climate action.

We are looking for a student assistant with excellent organizational skills to support us in conducting literature research and building a contextual review, organizing and administering workshops, and communicating with the UK team. The interest in writing a BA or MA thesis on topics close to the project is encouraged.

Workload: 20 h/ month; Salary: 13,98 €/h (without degree), 14,87 €/h (with BA)

Tasks:

• Literature search and administration of literature
• Organization of events and workshops
• Administration and writing of blog/website

Requirements:

• B.A. or M.A. student, not necessarily in Political Science
• Self-organized, responsible and structured work skills
• Excellent communication skills
• Excellent command of German and English
