The Faculty of Medicine at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) invites applications for an independent

Tenure Track Professorship for Cell Plasticity at the Tumour Host Interface

(W2 / Associate Professor)

with an affiliation to the Chair of Experimental Medicine I. The professorship is to be filled by the earliest possible starting date for an initial period of six years. FAU offers a long-term perspective of a permanent appointment to a W2 professorship if the requirements of the tenure evaluation are met.

We seek to appoint an expert who will develop an internationally visible research profile. The duties of the professorship include research on cell plasticity in the interaction between tumour cells and their environment. Candidates should demonstrate methodological expertise in the display and/or targeted manipulation of such dynamic interactions in various model systems of primary tumours and metastases (e.g. mouse and organ culture models), as well as experience in cutting-edge cellular and molecular technologies (e.g. scSeq, CRISPR/Cas9 screening, epigenomics). The aim of the professorship is to strengthen the research focus areas at the Faculty of Medicine in the fields of tumour and inflammation research both in existing (mainly TRR 305) and planned research networks.

Successful candidates demonstrate excellent academic achievements in research at the highest international standards. You have substantial research experience as well as experience in managing research projects and in raising third-party funding. A university degree and an outstanding doctoral degree as well as teaching experience are prerequisites. The position also requires additional postdoctoral qualifications. These should be in the form of a habilitation (postdoctoral thesis) or equivalent academic qualifications. You may also have acquired the necessary qualifications in a non-university context or through a junior faculty position (for example as W1 Professor or Assistant Professor).

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