The University of Göttingen aims to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented and therefore strongly encourages qualified women to apply. It sees itself as a family-friendly university and promotes the compatibility of science/work and family. The university has set itself the goal of employing more severely disabled people. Applications from severely disabled people will be given preference if they have the same qualifications.
The above project includes two large sub-areas, each with a position to be filled at the universities of Göttingen and Bochum. Applicants who do not have a preference for one of the two places of work are therefore expressly requested to apply for both positions. The position to be filled at the University of Bochum will be published on the university’s homepage. Until the position is published, Prof. Dr. Marco Coniglio is available to answer any questions you may have at the email address: marco.coniglio@phil.uni-goettingen.de
