In the Faculty of Chemistry and pharmacy of the Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg (JMU), at the Institute of pharmacy and food chemistry , a junior professorship in “Clinical pharmacy and Applied Biochemistry” (salary grade W1 with tenure track to a university professorship in salary grade W2, m/f/d) is to be filled at the earliest possible date on a temporary civil service basis for an initial period of three years. The future holder of the position should represent the field of "Clinical pharmacy" in research and teaching. Applications are invited from scientists whose research deals with issues in the pharmaceutical sciences, in particular clinical pharmacy and related specialist areas. Willingness to participate in research networks and to initiate new collaborative projects is expected. The University of Würzburg attaches great importance to intensive supervision of students and doctoral candidates. Teaching duties should be taken on in Clinical pharmacy and Clinical Chemistry as well as in courses with similar content in the subject of food chemistry . Applicants should be in an early phase of the path to a professorship and have changed universities after completing their doctorate or, if they completed their doctorate at the Julius Maximilian University, have been scientifically active outside of the Julius Maximilian University for at least two years. Permanent appointment and appointment as a university professor in the pay group. W2 in a civil service position for life is only granted if the junior professor has proven himself or herself in accordance with the requirements of the university's internal quality assurance concept. The University of Würzburg aims to increase the proportion of women and therefore expressly requests applications from appropriately qualified female scientists. Severely disabled applicants will be given priority if their qualifications are otherwise essentially the same. Applications with the usual documents must be sent electronically by email ( fcp-berufung@uni-wuerzburg.de ) in PDF format to the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Chemistry and pharmacy by January 6, 2025.

At the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Tübingen, a tenure track professorship for Sustainable Inorganic Chemistry (f/m/d) is to be filled in the Department of Chemistry at the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry as of October 1, 2025. We are looking for a person whose research concept makes a contribution to a current field of preparative inorganic molecular chemistry. Independent research activities are expected in this context with reference to relevant aspects. The professorship should support ongoing and planned collaborative research projects in the Department of Chemistry and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and ideally also offer points of contact with existing structures and research associations. The holder of the professorship should independently represent the subject of inorganic chemistry in its full breadth in teaching. The teaching obligation is initially four, after a positive interim evaluation six semester hours per week. Contributions to innovative teaching concepts are welcome. The prerequisites for an appointment are an outstanding dissertation in a relevant area, internationally recognized publications and experience in acquiring third-party funding and teaching. Applicants for a tenure track professorship who have completed their doctorate in Tübingen should have changed universities after their doctorate or have been working in academia outside the University of Tübingen for at least two years. The advertised position is linked to tenure track for appointment to a W3 professorship. If the evaluation is positive, the appointment to a W3 position takes place without a new call for proposals in an appropriately simplified appointment procedure. The specific criteria on which the interim and final evaluation is based can be found here in addition to the general quality assurance concept. There you will also find statements on the job category. A completed habilitation is a reason for exclusion from a successful application. The University of Tübingen is committed to the goals of equality and diversity and actively promotes equal opportunities. In order to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching, we strongly encourage qualified female scientists to apply. Qualified international scientists are expressly encouraged to apply. Severely disabled people will be given priority if they are equally qualified. Please submit your application documents via the University of Tübingen's application portal by February 3, 2025. Questions about the call for proposals and the application portal can be directed to the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Tübingen, Prof. Dr. Thilo Stehle ( career@mnf.uni-tuebingen.de ).
