The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology invites applications for a
W3 Professorship for Economy and Society of the Middle East
at the Institute of Economics (Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy) to be filled by the earliest possible starting date.
The successful candidate is expected to represent the field adequately in teaching and research with a focus on economics. Applicants must have at least fundamental knowledge of Arabic and an additional Middle Eastern language (Turkish or Persian) is desirable. In addition to teaching undergraduates, the professorship involves teaching the MA degree programmes in Middle Eastern Studies and in Development Economics & International Studies and directing the Centre for Iraq Studies. The successful candidate is also expected to work with the Middle East section of the Center for Area Studies in Erlangen.
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.
