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.

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 ).
