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 a
Professorship for translational research and health services research in general practice with a focus on multimorbidity (W2)
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 OWL (UMC OWL), 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".

General Practice and Family Medicine is particularly engaged in primary care health services research with a focus on multimorbidity and polypharmacy as well as in medical education and specialist training in general practice. As the holder of the position, you will lead the development and professionalization of an academic General Practice Research Network (GPRN) in close cooperation with the Department of General Practice and Family Medicine. The GPRN facilitates participatory approaches involving patients as well as GPs and their practice teams and cooperates with established inter/national GPRNs (e.g. HAFO.NRW and DESAM-ForNet) as well as the translational research network of the university. You will develop a sustainable concept for research projects that combine intra- and intersectoral health services research, clinical and, if appropriate, biomedical research in the sense of a complete translation. The research concept must take into account the special features of the setting with decentralized, independent practices in rural areas and the associated structural and procedural requirements that enable reliable data collection and, if necessary, biomaterial sampling. You are also responsible for the development and evaluation of innovative teaching concepts and content, which particularly aim at implementing evidence-based practice in medical education and specialist training.
