Professorships

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

Tenure Track Professorship for Artificial Intelligence in Orthodontics

(W2 / Associate Professor)

at the Department of Orthodontics and Orofacial Orthopedics. 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 and teaching profile. The successful candidate will also be responsible for expanding and connecting the various key research priorities in the field of orthodontics. Candidates are expected to have an international reputation in research into medical data science and experience in analyzing clinical data. In order to encourage sustainable development of AI applications now and in the future, the professorship will focus on the areas of 3D or quantitative imaging and/or biogenetic datasets, intelligent data integration procedures and data analysis.

The ideal candidate is an internationally recognized personality who is skilled at working with a wide range of different methods, and can prove that this is the case with excellent publications and success in raising third-party funding. Close collaboration with other clinics and institutes at the Faculty of Medicine as well as institutions at the other faculties as well as involvement in research associations such as DFG Collaborative Research Centers and interdisciplinary centers is a must. The successful candidate will also be expected to share their knowledge with other stakeholders in the AI health hub (https://www.bayern.de/hightech-agenda-bayern/) and initiate joint activities or research projects. The professor will be involved in teaching dentistry, medicine, artificial intelligence (Faculty of Engineering), and data science in combination with medical data science (Faculty of Sciences). Teaching will be conducted in both German and English. Furthermore, the professor is expected to become involved in establishing structured doctoral degrees in dentistry. The professor will become a secondary member of the Faculty of Engineering, linked to the newly established Department of Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering.

Successful candidates demonstrate excellent academic achievements in research and teaching at the highest international standards. You have substantial research experience abroad and/or international cooperations 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 a passion for education and pertinent teaching experience are prerequisites. Candidates who are able and willing to teach in both English and German are desired. 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.

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.
