The Jena University Hospital (JUH) invites applications for a

Professorship for Epileptology (W3 or W2 with tenure track to W3)

to be filled at the earliest possible date.

The professorship is associated with the establishment and management of the newly founded Section for Epileptology in the Department of Neurology at the JUH, which covers the complete spectrum of epileptology in diagnostics and therapy, including pre-surgical diagnostics and perioperative care.

The person to be appointed (m/f/d) should represent the subject within research, teaching and healthcare. The scientific focus should be on clinical-translational epileptology. It is expected that the research profile of the Department of Neurology will be strengthened. Support for the main research areas of the Faculty of Medicine (sepsis and infection medicine, ageing and age-associated diseases, medical optics and photonics) is also expected.

The requirements for appointment are a university degree in medicine, recognition as a specialist in neurology (Facharztanerkennung), aptitude for teaching at a university level, particular aptitude for academic work, which is usually demonstrated by the outstanding quality of a doctorate, as well as the habilitation or equivalent scientific achievements. In the case of a first-time appointment to a professorship, the professorship should initially be filled as a W2 professorship for a fixed term of six years. Subject to a positive tenure evaluation, the appointment to a W3 professorship will take place after six years at the latest without the vacancy being readvertised.

The person to be appointed should have an outstanding academic record based on publications and third-party funding.

We are looking for a leadership personality with a high level of social competence and ability to work in an interdisciplinary manner, a pronounced understanding of organization, sensitivity to economic concerns and the willingness to participate in the necessary processes of change at a university hospital.

In accordance with the decision of the responsible governmental institution (Kultusministerkonferenz) of 19.11.1999, the responsibility regarding clinical care will be regulated by a separate contract establishing a performance-based pay with constant and variably components.

The JUH and Friedrich Schiller University Jena aim to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and therefore strongly encourages qualified female academics to apply. Severely disabled persons will be given preferential consideration in the case of equal suitability.

Applications with the usual documents (CV, list of publications, teaching experience, list of third-party funds acquired, copies of certificates and degrees) and additionally with concepts for the development of research/clinic/teaching, taking into account gender equality, and for the interlinking of clinical and preclinical teaching and the digitalization of teaching should be submitted online at
