Universität Regensburg
Faculty of Business, Economics, Management Information Systems invites applications for a
Tenure Track Professorship of Economic Data Science
(grade W2 with tenure-track leading to professorship for life at grade W3)
for a period of six years 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 young scientists (tenure-track program). The tenure-track professorship aims to forge transparent paths for young academics so they can plan their progression to professorships. For this reason, we explicitly encourage applications from young academics who have only recently achieved their doctorates. We are looking for a highly qualified scientist with an innovative scientific profile, outstanding initial scientific achievements and 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 candidate (m/f/d) should have a research profile in the area of economic data science. Both furthering modern methods of data analytics and applied work are important components of the profile. Fields of application are, for example, in labor markets and social security, gender and family economics, migration, regional economics, or environmental economics. The successful candidate (m/f/d) is expected to contribute to the teaching program in econometrics in the first and second phase of the Bachelor as well as in the Master programs of the faculty (especially economics and international economics). The ability to teach in English is a prerequisite.
The successful candidate (m/f/d) fits in well with the existing research focus of the Department of Economics and Econometrics. The Department of Economics and Econometrics as part of the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Management Information Systems maintains extensive cooperation with the Leibniz-Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) in Regensburg as well as the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nürnberg. Moreover, the Department of Economics and Econometrics participates in the structured doctoral program "Bavarian Program in Economics". The successful candidate is willing to cooperate with these partners and programs as well as with the newly established Faculty of Informatics and Data Science at the University of Regensburg.
In accordance with Universität Regensburg's statute on the appointment of tenure-track professors from February 14, 2020, the prerequisites named in Art. 14 Bavarian University Staff Act (BayHSchPG) apply to the appointment of a tenure track professor. This means, above all, particular aptitude for academic work, generally shown by a doctoral degree, and further academic performance commensurate with the early phase of a career.
Applicant 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 http://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 similar 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).
Applications containing the normal documents (resume, certificates, list of publications with copies of the most important papers) should be submitted electronically (bewerbungen.wiwi@ur.de)
