W1 professorship (with tenure track to W3) in »Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies«

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is an internationally established university with 160 years of history that is rooted in the Bauhaus tradition. It combines science, technology, art and design. This approach determines the self-image of the faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art and Design, and Media. In addition to their subject-specific functions, the faculties are also committed to interdisciplinary collaboration and to the interpenetration between art, science and practise.

As part of the Joint Federal Government-Länder Tenure-Track Programme to promote young research talent, the Faculty of Art and Design at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar are seeking to fill a

W1 professorship (with tenure track to W3) in
»Acoustic Ecologies and Sound Studies«

The position includes both creative and theoretical aspects and is focussed on acoustic environments and interaction strategies within the field of »Sound Ecology« and auditory culture. It also focusses on the study of humans in their natural, analogue and digital environments.

Under this programme, the job advertisement is aimed at junior academics early on in their careers. The recruitment requirements of the Thuringian Higher Education Act (§ 89 ThürHG) apply.

The respective professorship is initially limited to three years. This is expected to be extended by a further three years, following a positive tenure evaluation. If a further evaluation after six years is also positive, then the W1 professorship will be converted into a W3 professorship without an additional job adver-tisement.

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar offers you appropriate resources to enable you to independently struc-ture your professorship, including equipment, staffing in form of an employee position (75 %), a studio manager (50 %) and a share in secretarial capacity. We also support you with the performance of your duties via a wide range of advisory services and promotional funding.

We are looking for an individual who pairs excellence in their discipline with an openness to other sub-ject areas, and who will play a part in further developing and shaping the university with an awareness of art and science’s responsibility to society. They are therefore expected to participate in inter-faculty col-laborations and interdisciplinary study courses.

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar pursues an equal-opportunity, family-friendly human resources policy. The university’s strategic goals include increasing the proportion of women in teaching and research. The university was awarded a »TOTAL E-QUALITY« rating, and was given the title of »Gleichstellung: Ausge­zeichnet!« (»Gender Equality: Outstanding!«) under the Federal Government-Länder Women Professors Programme. Bauhaus-Universität Weimar would therefore like to expressly invite qualified female academics to submit applications.
