The Faculty of Catholic Theology of the University of Würzburg has an open tenured position in the Institute for Historical Theology starting at the earliest possible date:
Junior Professorship of grade W1 with tenure-track on a university professorship of grade W2 for Franconian Church History and Ecclesiastical Regional History (Succession Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Weiß)
The junior professorship is to be filled on a temporary basis as a civil servant for an initial period of three years. The temporary civil service relationship is to be extended on probation for a total duration of up to six years. The tenure and appointment as a university professor of grade W3 in a civil servant relationship for life shall only be granted if the junior professor has proven his/her worth in accordance with the university's internal quality assurance concept. This tenure-track professorship is funded by the Bund-Länder Programme for the Promotion of Young Academics (Tenure-Track Programme).
The applicant has to represent the subject of Franconian Church History and Ecclesiastical Regional History at the Faculty of Catholic Theology in research and teaching. Experience in the acquisition of third-party funds and in interdisciplinary research cooperation is desirable. The teaching responsibilities include, in particular, courses for the study programs Magister Theologiae and Bachelor and Master Theological Studies for which the Faculty of Catholic Theology is responsible, as well as participation in the various teaching degree programs at the University of Würzburg. Within the framework of the junior professorship, a relevant further qualification in the subject of Franconian Church History and Ecclesiastical Regional History is expected.
Requirements for employment are a successfully completed university degree in Catholic Theology (Diplom, Magister Theologiae or equivalent degree), pedagogical aptitude and the special qualification for scientific work, which is usually proven by the outstanding qualification of a doctorate in the field of Church History (cf. Art. 14 sentence 1 BayHSchPG). Applicants for tenure-track positions should be on their way to professorship at an early stage and have changed university after the doctorate or, if the doctorate was awarded at Julius-Maximilians-Universität, have been academically active outside of Julius-Maximilians-Universität for at least two years. If employment as a research assistant or research assistant took place before or after the doctorate, the doctoral and employment phases together should not exceed six years (cf. art. 14 sentence 3 BayHSchPG). In accordance with the Concordat, the "Nihil obstat" is required for the filling of the professorship.
The University of Würzburg attaches great importance to the intensive supervision of students and doctoral candidates and expects a corresponding commitment from the teaching staff.
The University of Würzburg strives to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore expressly requests applications from suitably qualified female scientists. Severely handicapped applicants will be given preferential employment if their aptitude is otherwise essentially the same.
Applications must be submitted by e-mail by 28 February 2022 (dekanat@theologie.uni-wuerzburg.de). Required are the usual customary documents (CV, certificates, records, publications list, list of courses/teaching) as one pdf-file.
