The Faculty of Law at the University of Göttingen invites applications for a temporary professorship with civil servant status (grade W1 NBesO) with tenure track (grade W2 NBesO) at the Institute of Criminal Law and Justice effective at the earliest possible date:

W1 Professorship with tenure track to W2 in Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure Law with International Criminal Law or Medical Criminal Law or Commercial Criminal Law (f/m/d)

The successful candidate will initially be appointed for a period of three years. If the interim evaluation is positive, the employment contract will be extended for another three years. Transfer to a permanent professorship (W2) shall take place after another positive evaluation without the vacancy being readvertised.

We are looking for a team-oriented and committed scholar who will represent Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law in research and teaching. The successful candidate will be further expected to have already focused or be willing to focus in the future on the fields of either International Criminal Law, Medical Criminal Law or Commercial Criminal Law. In addition, the post-holder will be expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching, particularly in the development of modern teaching concepts including the use of digital media. The University of Göttingen attaches great importance to research-oriented teaching.

Appointment requirements are stipulated by Article 30 of the Lower Saxony Higher Education Act in the most current version of that law. As a rule, applicants that have obtained their doctorate from the University of Göttingen can only be considered for a junior professorship if after the completion of the doctoral thesis they have transferred to another university or worked for a minimum of two years in research elsewhere. The University of Göttingen is a Public Law Foundation and thereby entitled to award professorships. Details will be provided upon request.

Applications from abroad are explicitly welcome. The University of Göttingen strives to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented and therefore explicitly invites qualified female scholars to apply. The University has committed itself to being a family-friendly institution and supports its employees in balancing work and family life. The University is particularly committed to the professional participation of disabled employees and therefore welcomes applications from persons with disabilities. In the case of equivalent qualifications, applications from disabled persons will be given preference. In order for the University to be able to protect the interests of the applicant, information about a disability or equal status should be included in the application.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae describing your scientific career and your teaching activity, a list of publications, certificates, as well as an outline of the research projects planned for the coming years.
