The JMU is aiming to fill a total of seven open topic professorship positions in pay grade W1 with tenure track towards the position of university professor in pay grade W2. We are seeking early career researchers with a track record of internationally recognised research in one or more of the six research priority areas of the JMU and the potential to create innovative ideas that can help to further enhance our University’s research excellence.
The closing date for applications is 11 January 2022. We prefer to receive applications as PDF files emailed to us. Click here for more detailed information.
Your application should include the following documents: CV, certificates, a list of your publications as well as electronic copies of up to three of those publications, a list of the academic courses you have taught, a list of the sponsored projects you have worked on to date and our completed application form.
JMU's research priority areas are interdisciplinary and cross-faculty in nature. Therefore, in open topic procedures, the selection of appointees and their assignment to faculties is made by a central selection committee, which is composed of highly renowned scientists and scholars from within and outside the University. The appointments themselves are then made at the JMU faculties to which the open topic professorships have been assigned.
