Explanation:
could be one interpretation. Some more context would be helpful,
then the answer might be more precisely what you need.

"im Gespräch" meaning he's being talked about, i.e. in the news, if indeed my interpretation is accurate

Thanks for clarifying: It means he was
- being considered for the position of professor at the academy, he was
- being discussed as a possible candidate for the position....,

not "in the news" in this case.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes I know that, but often times a suggested question is exactly what I need - I know that for sure from the context, so I feel like I may as well close it right away so I don't have to do it later. I thought that would spare other people their time. But if you are suggesting that other people may find it in some way offensive, I'll be happy to wait in the future.

Asker: answer, not question.
