Women and persons who can help make the research profile of the cluster and the university more diverse are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants with children are highly welcome.

Applications should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file (up to 30 MB) by 30th September 2019. However, the screening process will continue until the positions have been filled.

For the position in the study of religion, please send your application and possible inquiries to Prof. Dr. Paula Schrode (paula.schrode@uni-bayreuth.de).

Applications for the position in English Linguistics and related inquiries should be sent to PD Dr. Eric Anchimbe (eric.anchimbe@uni-bayreuth.de).
