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".

The establishment of a neuroimmunological disease/animal model at the Bielefeld location is desired.

The professorship also offers great potential for future cooperation with clinical and/or neuroscientific working groups. Close scientific links to CeBiTec (Center for Biotechnology) and the Faculties of Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics are expressly desired.
