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 intends to fill at the Department of Neurosurgery at Campus Bielefeld-Bethel (CBB) a
Professorship for General Neurosurgery (W2)
at the earliest possible date. The professorship is associated with the position of a senior physician or, if suitable, the managing senior physician.
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/.
The call aims at personalities with a promisingly 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 neurosurgery
- relevant doctorate, and additionally scientific achievements according to § 36 paras. 1; no. 4 HG NRW

The Department of Neurosurgery at the Campus Bielefeld-Bethel has 53 beds and treats patients with all diseases in this area of expertise. The focus is on brain tumour surgery, vascular malformations, spinal and paediatric neurosurgery and epilepsy surgery. The Neurosurgery Clinic is an essential part of the interdisciplinary supraregional trauma centre. As the holder of this position, you will further develop neurosurgery at the University Hospital OWL on a broad basis in terms of university medicine and with special consideration of your areas of specialisation. Clinical and preclinical neurosurgical research will be further developed and implemented within the
framework of a structural and development concept that will be created with your participation. Against the background of the current founding situation, individual research profiles can be realized (e.g. tumour surgery, vascular and/or molecular neurosurgery, hydrocephalus, degenerative spinal diseases and/or defect states after trauma and stroke, etc.). In addition to the scientific structures of the Department of Neurosurgery, interdisciplinary core facilities (including neuroimaging, OMICs) are available for this purpose.
We expect networking with other departments of the UMC OWL, other faculties of Bielefeld University, and the medical community in private practice in the region. Accordingly, we are looking for a personality with leadership experience and expertise in the entire field and excellent communication and coordination skills.
