Job Opportunities

Join us in shaping the new Medical School OWL at Bielefeld University:
Future-oriented, interprofessional, and strong in research and teaching

The Medical School OWL at Bielefeld University and the Klinikum Bielefeld intend to fill a

Professorship for Geriatrics (W3)

at the earliest possible date.

At Bielefeld University, an innovative Medical School with an interdisciplinary individual and population medicine orientation and the University Medical Center East Westphalia Lippe (UMC EWL), with the Klinikum Bielefeld, Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel (EvKB), and Klinikum Lippe as holders, are established. We are looking for personalities who want to seize the development situation and its challenges as a chance and actively participate in research, teaching, patient care, and organization. We offer an exciting environment that opens up a wide range of opportunities. You will be significantly involved in the further planning and implementation of the model study program in human medicine (according to ÄApprO), as well as in implementing the "clinician" and "advanced clinician scientist" programs, and you will have the opportunity to apply innovative concepts in teaching. At the same time, you will take on a significant role in developing an interconnected, inter/nationally competitive research profile "Medicine for people with disabilities and chronic diseases". For more information, please visit https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/medizin/forschung/profil/.

Against the background of the current demographic situation and the developments to be expected in the next decades, geriatrics plays a central role in the prevention, rehabilitation and care of older people with acute and chronic diseases as well as multiple impairments, also within the framework of the research profile of the Medical School OWL.
In close cooperation with other professorships (Geriatrics at Klinikum Lippe and Gerontological Psychiatry at EvKB), a university medical center-wide concept for health care research in the field of health and medicine of ageing will be developed and implemented. The concept should take into account the specifics of geriatric medical care for patients in rural (district of Lippe) and urban (city of Bielefeld) structures and should address cross-sectoral care structures. In the future, the three professorships will work together on this topic, with the individual hospitals establishing their own focus of research that can be linked to each other.
In addition, close networking and cooperation with the medical community in private practice and with representatives of the various health care professions in the region are expected, as well as cooperation with representatives of other faculties, including the School of Public Health.

The call aims at personalities with an already established national and international profile who can represent the field of expertise in research, teaching, and patient care in its entirety.

The prerequisites are:

• specialist qualification for internal medicine and geriatrics or specialist qualification for internal medicine with additional designation in geriatrics
• relevant doctorate, and additionally scientific achievements according to § 36 paras. 1; no. 4 HG NRW

• profound experience in the design and implementation of clinical studies
• extensive clinical experience in the field of expertise as well as leadership experience
• connectivity to the research profile of the Medical School OWL
• extensive teaching experience and experience with innovative teaching formats in the subject to be represented
• experience and active involvement in the equality-oriented promotion of young scientists

Desirable:

• additional designation physical therapy

As the holder of this position, you will be responsible for the management and results of the clinical, personnel and economic development of the Geriatric Department at Campus Klinikum Bielefeld (location Rosenhöhe) in a specialist and interdisciplinary context and for the further development of the associated MVZ structures (https://www.klinikumbielefeld.de/geriatrische-klinik.html). You will accompany the scientific anchoring of the already existing focal points of clinical care (integrated approach of the DGU-certified geriatric traumatology center, establishment of cognitive geriatrics for the treatment of somatic patients with severe cognitive disorders), e.g. in the context of conducting clinical studies linked to the methodological approaches of implementation research. In addition, you will cooperate in particular with the already established professorships for endocrinology and for rheumatology on clinical-experimental questions of an interdisciplinary networked geriatric medicine.

As the holder of this position, you should also be willing to address gender and diversity-related issues in order to improve health care practice.

The Klinikum Bielefeld aims to increase the proportion of women in management positions and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. The Klinikum Bielefeld stands for a family-friendly working environment tailored to your wishes and requirements. We offer an in-house daycare center with the option of bilingual education.
