The Jacobs Center places great emphasis on interdisciplinary research on aging. It also offers a structured Ph.D. Program in Productive Adult Development, and Executive Seminars. Applicants should demonstrate accomplishment in both teaching and research and are expected to have a strong record of scholarly productivity, a commitment to institutional excellence and the demonstrated ability to obtain research funding (possibly on the European level), but also work in a team on the joint research program of the Center. Any experience in interdisciplinary settings will be considered a strong point. In principle, our language of instruction is English. The position can be filled on any of the three levels of professorship (full, associate and assistant) depending on the specific qualifications of the applicant. Salaries will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Initial 7-years contracts may be extended based upon performance and the university’s needs. The annual teaching load is three courses at three hours each. Preferably, work at the Jacobs Center should begin in September 2011.
Please send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, two letters of reference (if applicable) and three representative examples of your work (preferably articles in reviewed journals) as soon as possible to the attention of Prof. Dr. Ursula M. Staudinger, Dean of the Jacobs Center on Lifelong Learning and Institutional Development, Jacobs University Bremen, P.O. Box 750 561, D-28725 Bremen.
