In the German "*Competence Centre for Bibliometrics*" (KB), funded by
the BMBF, the Institute for Research Information and Quality Assurance
(iFQ), the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research
(ISI) and the Institute for Science and Technology Studies (IWT) at
Bielefeld University join forces to develop and improve bibliometric
methods for the analysis of structures and achievements in science and
technology.
*We invite applications for 3 PhD positions (part-time 50%, TVöD/TV-L 13)*
for three years, starting in January 2010. There will be one position in
each participating institute.
Dissertation topics are supposed to be in line with the research
projects pursued by the KB. These topics are:
- the development and utilisation of bibliometric methods for
evaluation and monitoring, /inter alia/ the development of
semi-automatic and adaptive algorithms for the unification and coding of
institutions and persons as well as the development of a fine-grained
classification on the article level;
- the development of context-specific indicators to measure
science outputs;
- the development of quality standards and methods of quality
assurance as well as theoretically founded reliability tests of
bibliometric indicators;
- the advancement of an empirically grounded theory to improve
the validity of bibliometric indicators.
Supervision is provided by one of the three institutes. University
affiliation is provided but can also be freely chosen. Research stays at
the other institutes of the Competence Centre will be possible.
The application should include a PhD proposal (five pages at most)
describing the scientific objective and research questions.
In order to discuss potential proposals please contact:
- Prof. Dr. Stefan Hornbostel, iFQ,

We are also looking for a
*Scientific Assistant (full time, 13 TVöD)***
for the further development and validation of bibliometric methods and
procedures, especially the development of quality standards and methods

bibliometric indicators.
We expect relevant experiences in bibliometrics and in the development
and administration of databases. The position commences November 1,
2009, and is located at the iFQ in Bonn.
The Centre is looking for committed personalities with a very good
university degree, excellent knowledge of research methods and
experience in scientific project work. Excellent communication and
organisational skills, the capacity for teamwork, good language skills
in German and/or English and computing skills are required. We offer
work in highly committed and motivated teams, diversified tasks and
exciting and promising topics.
Please send your documents (including CV, copies of certificates, list
of publications) no later than *October 2nd, 2009*, to the Institute for
Research Information and Quality Assurance, Prof. Dr. Stefan Hornbostel,
