Jobbeschreibung

We expect an internationally recognized research profile in the field of epidemiology, ideally with links to the key research areas of the medical faculty. This should be evidenced by publications in internationally renowned journals.

Experience in the successful acquisition of collaborative projects, third-party funding, leadership skills to manage a successful institute, and a willingness to actively participate in academic self-administration and the further development of epidemiology at the location are also required.

The institute is currently involved in several extensive registers that are to be used, operated, and developed scientifically in cooperation.

Curricular and extracurricular courses on basic knowledge of descriptive and analytical epidemiology in the study of human medicine, as well as knowledge of the design, implementation, and evaluation of epidemiological studies to investigate disease incidence, progression, and possible causes, are mandatory. This goes hand in hand with the ability to use epidemiological data for practical work in diagnosis, therapy, and prevention planning. Active participation in the development of innovative courses, including in the context of the new teaching building (TTU), is expected.

Employment requirements include completed university studies, teaching aptitude, a doctoral degree, and further pertinent scientific achievements (§ 47 Lhg).

The professorship aims to further develop key areas of the medical faculty such as molecular mechanisms of aging and age-associated diseases, trauma, neurology, and oncology. Support for existing institutions and projects, e.g., the German Centres for Health Research in Ulm (DZNE, DZPG, and DZKJ), the special research areas of the medical faculty, the Ccc and NCT-Südwest, the Centre for Personalized Medicine (ZPM), and the Centre for Multidimensional Trauma Research (MTW), into the research concepts of epidemiology.

Additionally, the medical faculty aims to further develop the subject areas of prevention, artificial intelligence, causal methods, and public health.

Active participation in the ethics committee is included.

The university seeks to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and particularly encourages qualified female scientists to apply for this position. Severely disabled applicants with equal aptitude will be given preferential consideration.
