for a period of three years in the first phase with the legal status of temporary civil servant (Beamtenverhältnis auf Zeit), to be appointed as soon as possible. The tenure-track professorship is supported by the Federal/Länder program for the promotion of early career researchers (tenure-track program). The tenure-track professorship aims to provide transparent paths for early career researchers so they can plan their progression to permanent professorships. For this reason, we explicitly encourage applications from researchers who have only recently successfully completed their doctorates. We are looking for a highly qualified applicant with an innovative profile, first scholarly achievements in academic jurisprudence as well as empirical criminological research and an extraordinary potential for their further academic career. Universität Regensburg offers the prospect, upon positive tenure evaluation, of transferring to a permanent position as W3 grade professor with the legal status civil servant for life (Beamtenverhältnis auf Lebenszeit). The requirements for the tenure evaluation can be found at https://go.uni-regensburg.de/tt-satzung.
The junior professor (f/m/d) will represent criminal law and criminology in research and teaching.
The colleague (f/m/d) is to participate in developing the profile of the faculty and university in empirical criminological research. This includes the willingness to carry out externally funded empirical-criminological research projects, also in intra- and interdisciplinary cooperation. If possible, the professorship should also make research contributions to the further development in the field of digitization of the information society, for which cooperation with the new Faculty of Computer Science and Data Science is encouraged.
In our law degree programme (state exam), criminology is one of the central subjects of the focus area 6: "Fundamentals of Criminal Law". In addition, courses are to be held in the interdisciplinary master programme "Criminology and Violence Research" which is organized by the law faculty. Teaching topics are theoretical criminology and the basics of empirical research methods. The master programme is characterised by innovative interdisciplinary teaching formats. The applicant (m/f/d) should be prepared to participate in the further development of such teaching formats.
Prerequisites for taking up the position are, in accordance with Art. 14 Bavarian University Staff Act (BayHSchPG), alongside the general conditions from public sector employment law, a completed university degree, pedagogic suitability, and particular aptitude for academic work, generally shown by a doctoral degree.
Applicants must have changed universities following the doctorate or have been academically active for at least two years somewhere other than Universität Regensburg before the application.
Universität Regensburg is particularly committed to reconciling family and working life (for more information, see www.uni-regensburg.de/familienservice). To fulfill the equality directive and increase the number of female professors, we explicitly encourage applications from qualified women.
In case of essentially equal suitability, applicants with severe disabilities will be preferentially selected.
The prerequisites for appointment under civil servant law are based on the provisions of the Bavarian Public Service Code (BayBG) and the Bavarian University Staff Act (BayHSchPG).
Applicants containing the usual documents (resume, certificates, list of publications with copies of the most important papers) should be submitted, preferentially electronically to the Dean of the Faculty of Law by E-Mail (dekanat.jura@ur.de)
