Professor for Latin Literary Studies (W2 TT W3 or W3)

Bielefeld University attaches high importance to interdisciplinary collaboration within the faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies and to cross-faculty cooperation. Therefore, it is expected that the future holder of the position will expand interdisciplinary cooperation within the faculty as well as with other philological disciplines and will be involved in the development of collaborative projects.

According to § 36 HG NRW, the requirements for appointment are your completed university degree in literary studies, exceptional aptitude for academic work, as demonstrated by the superior quality of your doctoral thesis, suitable pedagogical skills, as shown in your previous education as well as additional postdoctoral research achievements, which will be evaluated exclusively and comprehensively in the appointment procedure.

In the case of appointment as a W2 professorship, the appointment is initially limited to five years; following appointment, a target agreement will be formulated. In case of a positive evaluation in the final year, the appointment will be transferred to a permanent W3 professorship. The tenure evaluation procedures are regulated in the statutes concerning the implementation of W2 professorships with tenure track. W2 tenure-track professorships are firmly established at Bielefeld University as an equal appointment option. Tenure-track-professors are offered a target group-specific personnel development programme that provides support during the arrival phase and in preparation of the tenure evaluation.

Applications from suitable severely impaired and equally disabled persons are explicitly welcome.

The faculty regards the equality of women and men as important and its implementation as part of the future holder’s responsibilities.
