The successful candidate is expected to be actively integrated into the University of Tübingen’s research landscape, for instance through joint externally funded projects and collaboration within the Department of Mathematics as well as with related departments at the University of Tübingen. The successful candidate’s previous and planned research activities should therefore demonstrate potential for a thematic connection to the University of Tübingen. Furthermore, appropriate participation in teaching duties and in the academic self-governance of the Department of Mathematics and the Faculty of Science is expected.
Required qualifications include an outstanding doctoral thesis in a pertinent field, recognizable potential for internationally visible publications in leading international peer-reviewed journals, successful grant applications, and teaching experience. The appointment prerequisites of § 51 LHG apply.
If the final evaluation after six years is positive, this professorship will be upgraded to a full (W3) professorship with no re-advertising of the position.
