The Department of Classical World and Asian Cultures at the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology invites applications for a
W3 Professorship for Classical Philology (Latin)
at the Institute of Ancient Languages to be filled by the earliest possible starting date.
The successful candidate is expected to represent the field adequately in teaching and research. Ideally the applicants’ specialisation should be the Roman Empire or Late Antiquity. The successful candidate is expected to participate in the relevant degree programmes and interdisciplinary centres at the University. The teaching language is German.
Prerequisites for the position are a university degree, university level teaching experience, a doctoral degree, and additional academic qualifications. These should be in the form of a Habilitation (post-doctoral thesis) or equivalent academic publications. The necessary qualifications may also have been acquired in a non-university context or through a junior faculty position (e.g. W1 Professor or Assistant Professor).
FAU expects applicants to become actively involved in the administration of academic affairs and welcomes experience in managing research projects and raising third-party funding.
The University of Erlangen-Nürnberg pursues a policy of intense student mentoring and therefore expects its teaching staff to be present during lecture periods.
FAU is an equal opportunities and family-friendly employer and is also responsive to the needs of dual career couples. In order to increase the number of women in leading positions, we specifically encourage women to apply.
Please submit your complete application documents (CV, list of publications, list of lectures and courses taught, certified copies of certificates and degrees) to Prof. Dr. Rainer Trinczek, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Hindenburgstr. 34, 91054 Erlangen, by 30 April 2015.
