The Faculty of Biology of the University of Freiburg invites applications for a
Full Professorship (W3) for Plant Cell Biology
in the Institute of Biology II to be filled as soon as possible.
This professorship is also particularly suitable for highly qualified early career researchers.We seek an internationally renowned scientist in the field of plant molecular biology, who preferentially investigates current topics within the field of molecular plant cell biology using biochemical and/or metabolic approaches. Aspects of signal perception and signal transduction should be visible. A research on plant membranes, the cell wall or metabolic signalling pathways are desirable but not mandatory requirements. The scientific profile of the candidate should integrate well into the over-arching thematic focus ‘Cellular adaptations of plants to varying environmental cues’.
The holder of the professorship will be responsible for teaching all aspects of Cell Biology and Biochemistry of Plants at Bachelor, Master, and PhD level.
Given the diversity within the University of Freiburg with its currently funded clusters of excellence CIBSS and livMatS and its close collaborations with local Max-Planck- and Fraunhofer Institutes as well as governmental state institutions, Freiburg is a highly competitive and internationally renowned research location and – together with the University of Basle (CH), the University of Strasbourg (F), the University Haute-Alsace (F) and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (D) – also part of the ‘European Campus’.
Prerequisites for the employment of Professors are a university degree, an outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. Substantial achievements and experience in academic research and teaching, at the level of a Habilitation according to the German academic system, are expected.
We are particularly pleased to receive applications from women for the position advertised here.
