doctoral position; PhD or equivalent for the postdoctoral position). Also

knowledge of German. 

Salary is on the German scale TV-L E13, 50%. Some additional funds are

three years, with possible extension as appropriate. The earliest starting date 
is March 1, 2011.

The University of Kaiserslautern is seeking to increase the proportion of
