Professur (W3) for Physiological Chemistry (f/m/d) management responsibilities

We are seeking a candidate with an internationally recognized track record in research and teaching in the field of physiological chemistry, biochemistry or molecular biology. The professorship includes the directorship of the Institute of Physiological Chemistry (successor to Prof. Dr. T. Wirth). Candidates are expected to have an outstanding record of international publications and a proven ability to secure external funding. Furthermore, experience in establishing or participating in research networks, as well as leadership experience, is desirable.

The Institute’s research activities currently focus on the role of cellular signaling pathways in development and differentiation, as well as the disruption of these pathways in the onset and progression of diseases. Future research priorities should actively support and further develop the existing research priorities of the Faculty of Medicine - aging, neuroscience, oncology, and trauma. Integration into faculty and supraregional research structures such as NCT-SüdWest, the Collaborative Research Center “Aging at Interfaces” (SFB 1506), and Multidimensional Trauma Sciences (MTW) is explicitly desired.

The professorship entails taking over the predominantly German-language instruction in biochemistry and molecular biology in the degree programs in Human Medicine, Dentistry, Molecular Medicine, and Molecular and Translational Neuroscience.

The professorship involves teaching courses in biochemistry and molecular biology - primarily in German - within the degree programs in human medicine, dentistry, molecular medicine, and molecular and translational neuroscience. The future holder of this position is expected to actively contribute to the further development of innovative teaching and examination concepts, including in the area of digital teaching, e.g., within the framework of the training hospital ToTrainU (TTU).

In addition to the standard application documents, a teaching concept in German is also requested.

Employment requirements are completed university studies in life sciences as well as teaching aptitude, a doctoral degree and further pertinent scientific achievements (§ 47 LHG).
