Prof. Dr. Marius Sältzer serves as Professor of Digital Social Science at the Institute for Social Sciences, University of Oldenburg, appointed in February 2023. His work integrates computational methodologies with social science inquiry to analyze political behavior through digital footprints, particularly social media discourse.

His academic foundation includes studies in economics and political science at the Universities of Mannheim and Hamburg, culminating in a 2021 doctoral dissertation from Mannheim University on computational techniques for identifying politicians' ideological positions via social media activity. Postdoctoral experience spans the University of Basel (Switzerland) and GESIS Leibniz Institute of Social Sciences' Computational Social Science Department.
