Consider making the switch to the University of Freiburg: It is one of
the most renowned and strongest research universities in Germany,
with a history spanning more than 500 years. You'll engage in top-notch
research and teaching with a unique spectrum of disciplines,
perspectives, and people – right in the heart of one of Germany's most
beautiful cities. The University of Freiburg's human resources
policy is oriented toward the principles of equal opportunity and
diversity. The university is committed to the goal of creating a family-
friendly university. The University of Freiburg has been granted 19
Tenure-Track-Professorships from the Tenure-Track-Programme an
now invites applications in the context of this programme for the
Tenure-Track Professorship for Climate Geography at the faculty of
Environment and Natural Resources in the Department of Environmental
Social Sciences and Geography.
This is a grade W1-professorship to which performance payments can be
offered. It is to be filled by October 2021. This professorship
is suitable for highly qualified early career researchers. The
applicant's research focus should be in the area of climate geography,
covering
in particular the interactions between global climatic change and
regional and local effects and contextual conditions. Expertise in the
areas
of climate change mitigation and adaptation and references to applied
and transdisciplinary issues are desired. If possible, these should be
linked to other questions of societal relevance (e.g. to the analysis of
different regional and sectoral vulnerabilities and processes of
global change). The applicant is expected to use modern empirical and
digital methods in their research. In teaching, foundational
teaching units (lectures, seminars/modules, field classes, project
courses) are to be offered in conjunction with the second professorship
in physical geography. The incumbent will be required to cover all areas
of physical geography in teaching, including relevant field methods
and digital analysis methods. In addition, a regional focus of
expertise, possibly outside of Europe, is desirable, where the incumbent
can
offer broad thematic and methodological coverage. Other tasks include
coordination activities in research and teaching, participation in
academic self-administration, as well as participation in other courses
and in the Faculty's graduate school.
We are looking for candidates with excellent profiles in the areas
mentioned, with a track record in interdisciplinary cooperation,
successful project management, and engaged teaching. The incumbent will
be expected to establish an active, nationally and internationally
visible working group. Willingness to secure third-party funding from
public and private funding sources and to participate in interfaculty
activities at the university is a prerequisite.
Prerequisites for the employment are a university degree, an outstanding
dissertation and an excellent publication record. This position is
a fixed term of four years. After a successful interim evaluation, it
will be extended by two years. Furthermore, the tenure procedure towards
Full Professorship W3 will be initiated after successful interim
evaluation.
The tenure procedures are regulated in the Statutes and Quality
Assurance Concept for Junior Professorships and Tenure-Track Professorships
and agreed upon with the Ministry of Science
(https://www.zuv.uni-freiburg.de/service/tenure). As a prerequisite for
granting tenure and the
subsequent conversion into a full professorship (W3) (1) the
requirements defined in the Statutes and Quality Assurance Concept have
to be
met and (2) the subject specific criteria determined by the Faculty of
for Environment and Natural Resources have to be met. We are particularly
pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised
here.
The following application documents are to be submitted:
Curriculum vitae,
Certificates of degrees and academic qualifications,
Complete list of papers and talks with specification of the three most
important publications,
List of current and previous projects including the financial support
received
Concept paper outlining future research and teaching foci (max. 1-2 pages).
