particular interest is research on the use and/or management of digital services, platforms and
business models.

Promising applicants can demonstrate international visibility through highly ranked publications
in international journals in the field of information systems and related disciplines (e.g. MIS
Quarterly, Information Systems Research, Management Science) and are able to conduct
information systems research at the highest methodological level. With respect to research
interests and methods, applicants should augment the existing information systems group in a
meaningful way. Possible touchpoints are, for example, in the areas of digital markets and
platforms, economics of IS, design and management of artificial intelligence, health IT,
information security, sustainability or privacy of digital services. In addition, the chairholder is
expected to have experience acquiring third-party funding and a willingness to participate in
collaborative and interdisciplinary research projects, some of which are funded by third parties.

Participation in the interdisciplinary B.Sc. and M.Sc. Information Systems degree programmes

and English is expected. Active participation in the acquisition of collaborative projects and
coordinated third-party funding programmes, in the further profile development of the
University of Passau in the field of digitalisation and in academic self-administration is also
desired. The DFG Research Training Group 2720 'Digital Platform Ecosystems (DPE) - Digital
platform-based value creation and its implications for data exchange, organisation and socio
