As one of Europe’s leading research universities, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich is committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. Building on its more than 500-year-long tradition, it offers a broad spectrum that covers all areas of knowledge within its 18 Faculties, ranging from the humanities, law, economics and social sciences, to medicine and the natural sciences.
The Faculty of Medicine invites applications for a
Professorship (W2) (6 years/tenure track)
ofMedical Microbiology and Hygiene
commencing as soon as possible.
The professorship represents the field of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene in its entirety in research and teaching. We are looking for a nationally and internationally recognized scientist to strengthen the research focus “Molecular Pathogenesis, Defense against, and Therapy of Bacterial Infectious Diseases” at the Max von Pettenkofer Institute. The call for applications is aimed equally at physicians and PhD scientists with a strong research background. It is expected that the professorship will be able to contribute significantly to the existing and planned research networks as well as to the translational research work of the German Center for Infection Research; proven success in acquiring third-party funding in collaborative projects is therefore highly desirable.
LMU Munich seeks to appoint a highly qualified junior academic to this professorship and, therefore, especially encourages early-career scholars to apply. Prerequisites for this position are a university degree and a doctoral degree or a comparable specific qualification. With an excellent record in research and teaching to date, prospective candidates will have demonstrated the potential for an outstanding academic career.
The initial appointment will be for six years. After a minimum of three years, it can be converted into a permanent position pending a positive evaluation of the candidate’s performance in research and teaching as well as his or her personal aptitude and if all legal conditions are met.
LMU Munich makes a point of providing newly appointed professors with various types of support, such as welcoming services and assistance for dual career couples.
LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer. The University continues to be very successful in increasing the number of female faculty members and strongly encourages applications from female candidates. LMU Munich intends to enhance the diversity of its faculty members. Furthermore, disabled candidates with essentially equal qualifications will be given preference.
