Description:

The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology at
Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites
applications for a Tenure-Track Position as an Assistant Professor of
German as a Foreign Language in the Context of Multilingualism (salary
group W1) at the Department of German and Comparative Studies. The
position is planned to be filled by the earliest possible starting
date for an initial period of four years. Upon successful evaluation,
the appointment will be extended for another three years. FAU offers
the long-term perspective of a permanent appointment to an associate
(W2) professorship if the requirements of the tenure evaluation are
met.

We seek to appoint a top early career scholar with an internationally
visible profile in research and teaching German as a foreign language
with a focus on linguistics. The candidate should develop outstanding
expertise in the field and have a track record in empirical research
into language acquisition or empirical research into multilingualism.
A further specialization in German as an academic language and German
as the language of education is desired. The successful candidate will
be required to teach in all bachelor’s and master’s degree programs
concerning the German language as well as in all relevant teaching
degree programs (elementary school and all types of secondary school:
Mittelschule, Realschule, and Gymnasium). We also expect participation
in the research training group “Die konstruktionsgrammatische Galaxis”
(the construction grammar galaxy) and in research activities at the
interdisciplinary linguistics centers, as well as in international
collaboration and exchange programs.

Successful candidates should demonstrate initial academic achievements
and the capacity for independent research at the highest international
standards. They should have substantial research experience abroad
and/or experience in managing research projects and in raising
third-party funding. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral
degree as well as a passion for education and relevant teaching
experience are also prerequisites. Candidates who are able and willing
to teach in both German and English are preferred.

No more than four years should have passed between the conferral of
the doctoral degree and deadline of the call for applications; this
period is extended to a maximum of seven years in the field of
medicine or clinical psychology and may also be extended due to
periods of supporting a family or caring for a family member. The date
of the doctoral certificate is decisive.

The successful candidate should become actively involved in
administering academic affairs and in developing strategic
initiatives. FAU pursues a policy of intense student mentoring and
therefore expects its teaching staff to be present during lecture
periods.

FAU offers career development, mentoring, and an attractive initial
research budget. Based on international standards and transparent
performance agreements, FAU ensures a fair tenure-track evaluation
process.

FAU offers an outstandingly productive research environment as well as
a passionate and multi-disciplinary scholarly community within a
vibrant institutional network.

In its pursuit of academic excellence, FAU is committed to equality of
opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach, which supports
and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive
culture, and values diversity. FAU is a family-friendly employer and
responsive to the needs of dual career couples.

Please submit your complete application documents (CV, list of
publications, list of third-party funding, copies of certificates and
degrees) online at https://berufungen.fau.de by October 13, 2024,
addressed to the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences,
and Theology. Please contact phil-berufungen at fau.de with any
