Beschreibung

The Faculty of Medicine at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites applications for a

Full Professor of Otorhinolaryngology (Salary Group W3)

at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology. This is a full-time and permanent position planned to be filled by October 1, 2025.

We seek to appoint a leading expert with an internationally visible profile in research and teaching.

As well as being involved in research and teaching, the professor will be in charge of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Uniklinikum Erlangen.

The Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery is responsible for the entire spectrum of otorhinolaryngology, including phoniatrics and pediatric audiology with the cochlear implant center CICERO.

The ideal candidate should have extensive experience in surgery as well as several years' management experience both in a clinical and an academic setting and have expertise in both human resources and corporate management.

The professor is expected to collaborate closely at a clinical and scientific level with all closely related subject areas and departments at Uniklinikum Erlangen.

Oncology, immunology, inflammatory conditions, and medical engineering are key research priorities at the Faculty of Medicine and other faculties at the University, and these have been reinforced considerably in recent years with strategic appointments.

We therefore seek to appoint a professor with an outstanding research profile that has been recognized accordingly with third-party funding and internationally acclaimed scientific achievements in order to reinforce these key research priorities even further.

The professor will be expected to collaborate with the oncological centers and research associations (CCC / NCT WERA, BZKF, and DZI), collaborative research centers, and research training groups at the Faculty of Medicine, the University and other clinical departments at Uniklinikum Erlangen.

Degree programs taught at the Faculty of Medicine include medicine, dentistry, molecular medicine (BSc), molecular medicine (MSc), midwifery science, medical process management, and, in collaboration with other faculties, medical engineering and integrated immunology.

The professor will be expected to teach in these degree programs. The extent of teaching duties is guided by the Implementing decree on the Bavarian Higher Education Innovation Act (AVBayHIG).

Successful candidates should demonstrate an excellent academic track record in research and teaching at the highest international standards.

They should have substantial research experience abroad and/or in international cooperations as well as experience in managing research projects and in raising third-party funding.

A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as a passion for education and relevant teaching experience are prerequisites.

Candidates who are able and willing to teach in both English and German are preferred. The position also requires additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic qualifications.

These qualifications may also have been achieved in a non-university context or through a junior faculty position (for example as Assistant Professor).

As well as providing evidence of excellent achievements in research and teaching, candidates must provide evidence of a license to practice medicine in the field of otorhinolaryngology.

Other additional qualifications in, for example, plastic surgery, allergology, or drug-based therapy of tumors are desirable.

The successful candidate should demonstrate academic leadership, the ability to support early career researchers and to drive FAU's strategic agenda.

FAU pursues a policy of intense student mentoring and therefore expects its teaching staff to be present during lecture periods.

FAU offers an outstandingly productive research environment as well as a passionate and multi-disciplinary scholarly community within a vibrant institutional network.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.

FAU is a family-friendly employer and responsive to the needs of dual career couples.
