Description:

As one of Europe’s leading research universities,
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich is committed to the highest
international standards of excellence in research and teaching. Building on
its more than 500-year-long tradition, it offers a broad spectrum that covers
all areas of knowledge within its 18 Faculties, ranging from the humanities,
law, economics and social sciences, to medicine and the natural sciences.

The Faculty of Languages and Literatures invites applications for a
Professorship (W2) (6 years/tenure track) of Romance Language Education and
Linguistics (French and another Romance language) commencing on October 1,
2021.

The successful candidate will represent the field of Language Education for
French as part of teacher education programs. She/he will also be engaged in
Romance Linguistics, with a special focus on French and at least one
additional Romance language. It is expected that the candidate will be able to
demonstrate her/his expertise in core areas of linguistics applied to the
study of French in the past and present, including the Francophonie. In
addition to research, teaching and academic self-administration, the
position’s profile includes participation in the planned LMU Center for
Linguistics as well as in the faculty’s research groups and teaching alliances
in Language Education and the LMU Teaching Education Center (MZL).

LMU Munich seeks to appoint a highly qualified junior academic to this
professorship and, therefore, especially encourages early-career scholars to
apply. Prerequisites for this position are a university degree and a doctoral
degree or a comparable specific qualification. With an excellent record in
research and teaching to date, prospective candidates will have demonstrated
the potential for an outstanding academic career. In addition, the successful
candidate should have a degree in secondary school teaching for French and
have at least three years’ experience in practical teaching in German
secondary schools or comparable institutions.

The initial appointment will be for six years. After a minimum of three years,
it can be converted into a permanent position pending a positive evaluation of
the candidate’s performance in research and teaching as well as his or her
personal aptitude and if all legal conditions are met.

Under the terms of the “LMU Academic Career Program”, in exceptional cases and
subject to outstanding performance in research and teaching, the position may
be converted from a W2 into a W3 Full Professorship at a later date.

LMU Munich makes a point of providing newly appointed professors with various
types of support, such as welcoming services and assistance for dual career
couples.

LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer. The University continues to be
very successful in increasing the number of female faculty members and
strongly encourages applications from female candidates. LMU Munich intends to
enhance the diversity of its faculty members. Furthermore, disabled candidates
with essentially equal qualifications will be given preference.

Please submit your application comprising a curriculum vitae, documentation of
academic degrees and certificates as well as a list of publications and
teaching to the application address provided below, no later than September
25, 2020.
