Jobbeschreibung

The University of Bonn is an international research university with a wide education and research profile. With a 200-year history, approximately 31,500 students, more than 6,000 staff, and an excellent reputation at home and abroad, the University of Bonn is one of the most important universities in Germany and is recognized as a university of excellence.

At the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bonn, a

W2 Professorship for Translational Molecular Imaging in Nuclear Medicine (successor to Prof. Dr. Dr. R. A. Bundschuh)

is to be filled at the earliest opportunity.

The Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Bonn covers the entire spectrum of modern nuclear medicine in clinical research and teaching. The department is equipped with two modern SPECT/CTs, a SPECT camera, a thyroid camera and a digital PET/CT device. All standard nuclear medicine treatments are provided on the treatment ward. Within research, Nuclear Medicine is part of the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation and has close links to the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). There is a successful radiochemistry working group in the development of new radiopharmaceuticals, in theranostics and immunological imaging, which this professorship will supplement with modeling methods.

As part of the advertised professorship, work should also be carried out on the development and testing of new nuclear medicine tracers in preclinical and clinical applications with a focus on tracer kinetic modeling, including using AI-supported methods. The professorship should be actively involved in the Core Facility for Small Animal Imaging, which is currently being established. The development of an independent research focus and acquisition of third-party funding will be supported. Experience in modeling in the field of immunological or neuroscientific radiopharmaceuticals, demonstrated through publications and the acquisition of competitive third-party funding, is required. The professorship is not associated with a clinical role. Involvement in teaching on courses within the Faculty of Medicine in German or English is required. The successful candidate must have completed a university degree in natural science or medicine and have a habilitation or evidence of equivalent academic achievements. Experience in teaching in accordance with section 36 of the Higher Education Act of North Rhine-Westphalia (Hochschulgesetz NRW) is preferable.

The University of Bonn stands for diversity and equal opportunities. It is certified as a family-friendly university and has a dual career service. Its aim is to increase the proportion of women in areas where women are underrepresented and particularly support their careers. It thus expressly encourages suitably qualified women to apply. Applications are handled in accordance with

the Law on Equality between Women and Men for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesgleichstellungsgesetz). Applications from suitable candidates with a verified severe disability and persons with an equivalent status are also particularly welcome.

Qualified candidates are asked to apply via the Appointment Portal of the University of Bonn (https://berufungsportal.uni-bonn.de/openProcedureList.do). The application can be submitted in German or English by May 27, 2025.
