The Tübingen Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital are part of the University of Excellence Tübingen. They provide medical services at the highest level and cover the entire spectrum of modern medicine, research, teaching and clinical care.

The professorship is linked with the directorship of the Department for Urology of the University Hospital Tübingen. Substantial experience in the management and business administration of a department/clinic as well as strong skills in personnel management are therefore expected. The successful candidate is expected to represent the field of urology in research, teaching and patient care and to have both clinical and scientific expertise in the focus areas of uro-oncology (operative and system therapeutic areas), regenerative and reconstructive urology, as well as in conducting clinical studies. Pediatric urology is conducted by the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Children’s Hospital Tübingen. The person sought has a nationally and internationally visible scientific profile, which is characterized by the successful acquisition of third-party funding, by publications in high-ranking journals and by links to the research priorities of the Medical Faculty. Active participation in existing clusters of excellence of the University (especially iFIT), in the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) Tübingen-Stuttgart, as well as in the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Tübingen is expected. Willingness and commitment to contribute to ongoing and planned research collaborations within and outside the Faculty of Medicine (e.g. Collaborative Research Centers, Research Units, German Centers for Health Research, Center for Personalized Medicine, Clusters of Excellence and Excellence Strategy) are required. In the field of teaching, involvement and comprehensive experience evaluated as outstanding are expected, as well as active design of lectures and other teaching formats, particularly in view of innovative curricula in the degree programs taught at the Tübingen Faculty of Medicine (including medical technologies, midwifery sciences, and nursing sciences). The position has a teaching load of nine hours per week (during semester). Required qualifications include a license to practice medicine, a board certification for Urology acquired in Germany or an international certification recognized as equivalent by the Medical Council of Baden-Württemberg and postdoctoral qualifications equivalent to the requirements for tenure, including evidence of teaching effectiveness. The University of Tübingen is particularly interested in increasing the number of women in research and teaching and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. In line with its internationalization agenda, the university welcomes applications from researchers outside Germany.
