Job Location: Munich, Germany
Job Title: Professorship of Albanology (Area of specialization:

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Professorship (W2) (6
years/tenure track)

Required Language(s): Albanian

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 Albanology
(Area of specialization: Linguistics)

commencing as soon as possible.

The applicant should represent Albanian Studies as a discipline of
linguistics and cultural studies. The applicant is expected to offer
proven expertise and competencies in the core areas of Albanology,
with a particular focus on linguistics (description of Albanian and
its varieties in diachronic and synchronic perspective, areal
linguistics, language contact).

Within the planned LMU Center for Linguistics, the holder of this
professorship is expected to maintain close contact with other
linguistic departments within the Faculty of Languages and Literatures
and to participate in the doctoral program Class of Language at the
Graduate School Language & Literature Munich, as well as in
interdisciplinary courses of study in linguistics and Eastern European
studies. The profile of the position also includes the maintenance and
development of international cooperation in research and teaching.

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.

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 Dean of the Faculty of Languages
and Literatures, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität
(Geschwister-Scholl-Platz 1, 80539 Munich, Germany), preferably via
email to dekanat13 at lmu.de in one single PDF-file no later than March
28, 2024.
