The University of Gttingen, together with the non-university research 
institutions of the Gttingen Research Campus, invites applications for 3
 
Tenure-Track Professorships and the establishment of Independent Research
 
Groups in all areas of the University's research fields.

The positions as head of so-called Free-Floater Research Groups will be at
 
the W1 salary level (Junior Professorship), have a reduced teaching load 
(2 hrs/wk), six years of funding to build up an Independent Research 
Group, and a tenure-track Option (W2/W3) dependent on successful review 
after 3 and 6 years.

We are looking for young scientists with outstanding scientific 
qualifications as documented by research activities and publications that
 
have earned a qualified doctoral degree within the last five years or 
longer if due to familial circumstances.

The Free-Floater Research Groups will be established to support 
competitive and innovative research ideas. Proposals can be made without 
topical constraints: The allocation of the Free-Floater Research Groups 
within the university will depend on the interests and research profile of
 
the group leaders and is open for joint appointments together with 
non-university research institutions of the Gttingen Research Campus. 
Successful applicants for a Free-Floater Research Group must be able to 
make a significant contribution to the strategic development of the 
university and its faculties (for further Information see: 
www.uni-goettingen.de/free-floater).

r 
opportunities for female scientists and scholars and therefore strongly 
encourages qualified women to apply. As part of its gender equality 
concept, the university provides special support to ease the compatibility
 
of career and family and offers a Dual Career Service.

We explicitly welcome applications from abroad. Disabled persons with 
equivalent aptitude for the position will be favoured.

Applications must be submitted by April 26, via our online application 
platform at:
