UNIVERSITY OF REGENSBURG
The Faculty of Medicine invites applications for a
Professorship for Immune Cell - Tissue Interactions (grade W 3)
The position provides the legal status of civil servant (Beamtenverhältnis) for life and is to be filled as soon as possible. The professor should strengthen the faculty in the area of immunomedicine. Transplant medicine and tumor research are prioritized within this area. The professorship investigates how immune surveillance of tissues contributes to maintaining their integrity, how repair processes are regulated following tissue damage, and how such immune mechanisms can be used to reinforce insufficient immune surveillance (for example during the development of tumors) or to suppress excessive immune responses (for example during inflammatory diseases or alloreactivity after organ or stem-cell transplantation). In-depth knowledge of such mechanisms should enable the development of highly effective and targeted immunotherapies for cancer and transplant medicine, and autoimmune diseases.
We are looking for a person of any gender who has shown excellence in research on the interaction of immune cells and tissues, and is eager to cooperate with other disciplines in regional, national and international networks. Active involvement in the clinical translation of the basic insights of immunomedicine is expected. The professorship will be integrated with further newly-created professorships at the Faculty of Medicine in an interdisciplinary Department of Immunomedicine and the Center for Immunomedicine in Transplantation and Oncology (CITO). The connections to existing immunology research topics at the university and extra-university research institutes, such as the Leibniz Institute of Immunotherapy (LIT) and the Fraunhofer group for personalized tumor therapy offer an attractive and cooperative research environment.
Prerequisites for taking up the position are, in accordance with Art. 57 Para. 1 of the Bavarian law on innovation in higher education (Bayerisches Hochschulinnovationsgesetz; BayHIG), alongside the general conditions from public sector employment law, a completed university degree, pedagogic suitability, particular aptitude for academic work, generally shown by a doctoral degree, and further academic performance shown via a habilitation or equivalent which may have been performed outside higher educational institutions or as part of the duties of a junior professor. Leadership of a junior research group represents such equivalent academic performance under Art. 98 Para. 10 Clause 5 BayHIG.
Universität Regensburg is particularly committed to reconciling family and working life (for more information, see
www.uni-regensburg.de/familienservice). To fulfill the equality directive and increase the number of female professors, we explicitly encourage applications from qualified women.
In case of essentially similar suitability, applicants with severe disabilities are given preferential consideration.
The prerequisites for appointment under civil servant law are based on the provisions of the Bavarian public service code (BayBG) and BayHIG. Please note the age limit specified in Art. 60 Para. 3 BayHIG.
Applications containing the normal documents (resume, certificates, list of publications with copies of the most important papers) should be submitted,
by October 2, 2023
to the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Universität Regensburg, Franz-Josef-Strauß-Allee 11, 93053 Regensburg. Please submit your application in electronic form to
