At the only Department for People with Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Germany, you will have the opportunity to play a significant role in establishing a research profile "Medicine for people with disabilities and chronic diseases" that is interconnectable and competitive on an inter/national level.

With 66 beds, a large specialist outpatient clinic and an MZEB, the Department for People with Neurodevelopmental Disorders is a center for the medical treatment of people with intelligence development disorders and has a complex somatic and psychiatric treatment program.

The candidate is expected to contribute to the emerging structural and developmental concept of the Department for the expansion of clinical-translational and health services research in the field of mental health of people with disorders of intellectual development. In this context, questions concerning the optimization of the human-environment interaction are to be decisive, which focus on the interactions of persons with cognitive impairment and their environment, taking into account the respective functional limitations and living conditions. The aim is to enable consistency of personal life motives and social participation, taking into account the functionally relevant disability, but also the respective social structures and family goals. This approach, which amounts to systemic therapy and intervention research, is to be transferred to local structures for treatment and participation in the course of the project.

Accordingly, we are looking for a personality with leadership experience and expertise in the entire field and excellent communication and coordination skills.
