The Faculty of Humanities invites applications for the position of
as a limited-tenure civil servant to be filled as soon as possible. Following a positive evaluation conducted at the University of Bamberg after six years’ time, the successful candidate’s position will be commuted to a fully tenured W 2 professorship without a public call for additional applications.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the following:
The holder of the post is expected to contribute to the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes in Psychology (basic and clinical aspects) and participate in the development of new curricula. Top-level labs for psychophysiological and EEG labs as well as the “BamLiD” (“living lab”) are available.
In addition, the successful candidate is also expected to be involved in contributing to the internationalisation of the Faculty’s course offering, to support its international cooperation and exchange programmes and take on duties in the area of academic self-government.
The relevant qualifications consist of a completed academic degree, pedagogical aptitude and a particular talent for academic work generally substantiated by the quality of the candidate’s doctoral degree. Applicants for the tenure track professorship should have changed universities after completing their doctorate or to have done research outside of Bamberg University for at least two years.
The prerequisites for the appointment result from Art. 14 Bavarian Higher Education Act (BayHSchPG).
An employment as a research assistant in Germany before or after the doctorate, the doctoral studies and employment phases should not have been more than six years together. These times can be extended under the conditions of Art. 14 Clause 4 BayHSchPG.
This tenure-track professorship is sponsored by the German Federal Government-Länder Tenure-Track Programme. The aim of this program is to make the path to a professorship more predictable and transparent for researchers with a doctorate in an early career phase.
With that said, young scientists are particularly encouraged to apply whose doctoral degree is only relatively short before the desired date of appointment.
The selection process shall be conducted according to the provisions of the Bayerisches Hochschulpersonalgesetz (Bavarian Higher Education Employment Act) concerning the appointment of professors and assistant professors (Art. 18) ) as well as the rules of the Otto Friedrich University Bamberg for regulating the procedure regarding flexible appeal options. If the general employment requirements are met, the selected candidate will be employed as a limited-tenure civil servant for an initial period of three years. Following a positive evaluation, a further three-year extension is intended.
The Faculty is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from female candidates. Where candidates are otherwise equally qualified, preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.
