The successful applicant will be able to teach a variety of courses in
different areas of English linguistics. A special focus in research and

expect an interest in joining the research activities of the Tübingen
linguistics community.

Required qualifications include an outstanding PhD in (English) linguistics,

Applicants for a tenure-track professorship with a PhD from Tübingen must have
changed universities after completing their doctorates or have worked in
academia for at least two years somewhere other than the University of
Tübingen.

If the final evaluation after six years is positive, this professorship will
be upgraded to a full (W3) professorship with no re-advertising of the
position. Detailed information on the criteria underlying the interim
evaluation and promotion to the tenured position may be found in our
guidelines for tenure review adjacent to this tender offer There you can also
find information on this employment category.

The chosen candidate will be requested to teach four to six hours per week

Tübingen University is particularly interested in applications from female
candidates for this position and therefore strongly encourages women to apply.
In line with its internationalization agenda, the university welcomes
applications from researchers outside Germany.

Applications from disabled candidates will be given preference if the
qualifications of these candidates are identical to those of a non-disabled
candidate.

Vitae, list of publications and teaching experience) and up to five relevant
publications as an electronic PDF file to the Dean of the Faculty of
